Description

Delicious chicken tenders coated in a crispy panko crust with ranch seasoning, perfect for dipping and sharing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds chicken tenders or chicken breasts cut into strips
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Nonstick cooking spray or 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and placing a wire rack on top.
  3. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl until smooth.
  4. Combine panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder in another shallow bowl.
  5. Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels.
  6. Dip each chicken tender into the egg wash, then coat in the panko mixture.
  7. Arrange the coated tenders on the wire rack, spaced apart.
  8. Lite spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
  9. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crispiness, do not overcrowd the baking sheet, and always pat the chicken dry before coating.
