March Dinner Divas - Chicken Tenders "On the Ritz"

Chicken Tenders "On the Ritz"

1/2 cup prepared Ranch dressing
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp black pepper

1 cup finely crushed Ritz crackers
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 tsp dried parsley

16 (about 1.75 lbs) chicken tenders

3 TBS melted butter

Your choice prepared dipping sauces (ranch, honey mustard, BBQ)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or, for easier clean-up, line the cookie sheet with foil and spray foil with nonstick spray.

In a small bowl, mix the Ranch dressing, milk, and pepper; set aside. In a shallow pan or dish, combine the cracker crumbs, breadcrumbs and parsley.

Dip each chicken tender into the dressing mixture, then roll in cracker crumb mixture to coat. Place tenders on prepared baking sheet, then drizzle with melted butter.

Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Turn tenders over and bake an additional 10 min. If extra browning is desired, broil for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from oven and serve with your choice of dipping sauces.
