Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a shallow bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs with 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning.
  2. Step 2: Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a second shallow bowl. In a third bowl, beat 2 large eggs.
  3. Step 3: Dip each of the 1 pound chicken tenders first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with the ranch-panko mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Spray the coated tenders lightly with olive oil spray and bake for 15-18 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
