My husband accidentally bought chicken tenders instead of chicken breasts one day, so I decided to make the most of it. I scrounged around in our pantry and had the idea to make a coating that had ranch dressing in it already. My family loved the combination of these chicken tenders and a ranch dip so much, I made twice the amount the second time I made them for dinner.

Prep time – 10 minutes / Cook time – 20 minutes

  • 2 C. unseasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 lbs. chicken tenders, trimmed
  • 1 package dry ranch dressing mix
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 C. milk
  • vegetable oil
Mix bread crumbs, ranch dressing mix and salt and pepper in rimmed dish. Combine egg and milk in a second rimmed dish. Heat 2 Tb vegetable oil in large non-stick skillet. Dip chicken tender in egg mixture, then dredge in bread crumb mixture. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Serve with ranch dip and your favorite side.
