Description

 

Crack Chicken Tenders are juicy, baked chicken tenders coated with a delicious mix of ranch seasoning, crispy bacon, and melted cheese. This easy, irresistible recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner, game day snack, or anytime you crave cheesy, savory goodness!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs (680g) chicken tenders
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup (115g) cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Season the Chicken:
    • In a large bowl, toss the chicken tenders with olive oil and ranch seasoning until evenly coated.
  • Arrange on Baking Sheet:
    • Place the seasoned chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Add Cheese and Bacon:
    • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the chicken tenders.
  • Bake:
    • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve:
    • Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot!

Notes

  • Add spice: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce for some heat.
  • Make it keto: Use sugar-free ranch seasoning and full-fat cheddar cheese.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
