  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Mayo Mixture

  1. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix, ½ tsp garlic powder, and ½ tsp onion powder.
  2. Mix well until you get a smooth, creamy consistency.

Step 3: Coat the Chicken Tenders

  1. Pat the chicken tenders dry with a paper towel to help the coating stick better.
  2. Dip each tender into the mayo-Parmesan mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated on all sides.
  3. Dredge the coated tenders in the crushed Ritz crackers, pressing lightly to make sure the crumbs adhere evenly.

Step 4: Arrange on the Baking Sheet

  1. Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.

Step 5: Bake the Chicken Tenders

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Check for doneness: The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
