Oven Baked Onion Ranch Chicken Tenders - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs chicken breast tenders
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup French-fried onions
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup ranch salad dressing

Preparation

Set oven to 400\u00b0 F with rack in lowest position.
Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch or larger foil lined baking sheet.
Place the fried onions in a shallow bowl and crush them until they are about the size of your panko bread crumbs. I used an absorbant paper towel to crush them to remove some of the excess oil.
Add the panko, seasoned salt, black pepper and garlic powder to the crushed onions and mix together.
Dip the chicken into the ranch to coat and allow excess to drip off.
Coat in the onion and panko mixture.
Place in a single layer on the greased baking sheet. Do not use a smaller baking sheet to prevent soggy chicken coating.
Bake uncovered for 7 minutes turn and cook until done. Usually another 7 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the tenderloins. This will take longer if you use full size chicken breast.
