Ingredients
1 lb. chicken tenders
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
- Dip each chicken tender into the mayonnaise mixture, coating fully. Then dredge in crushed Ritz crackers, pressing gently so crumbs stick.
- Arrange coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra spice, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the mayo mixture.
- Swap Parmesan with cheddar for a different flavor.
- Use gluten-free crackers for a gluten-free version.
- Air fryer option: cook at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheat in oven or air fryer.
