Ingredients
→ Main Ingredients:
1 pound chicken tenders
½ cup mayonnaise (or substitute with Greek yogurt or sour cream)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare Coating: In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Parmesan, Ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken tender into the mayo mixture, coating thoroughly, then dredge in crushed Ritz crackers, pressing to help the coating stick.
Bake: Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Optional: For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1–2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Notes
You can substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream for mayonnaise for a lighter option.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
Great for meal prep or as a game day snack.
