Crack Chicken Tenders (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 lb chicken tenders
02 - ½ cup mayonnaise
03 - ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
04 - 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
05 - ½ tsp garlic powder
06 - ½ tsp onion powder
07 - 1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
04 - Coat each chicken tender in the mayo mixture, then dredge in crushed Ritz crackers, pressing to ensure coating sticks.
05 - Arrange chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out for even cooking.
06 - Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F.
07 - Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

# Notes:

01 - Greek yogurt or sour cream can replace mayonnaise for a lighter option.
02 - Use gluten-free crackers instead of Ritz for a gluten-free option.
03 - Broil for the last 1-2 minutes of baking for extra crispiness, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
04 - Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
