Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ cups crushed Corn Flakes
1 (1 ounce) packet ranch salad dressing mix
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup, if desired); spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Combine Corn Flakes, dry ranch dressing mix, and Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish.
  • Place melted butter in a separate shallow dish.
  • Use paper towels to pat the chicken dry.
  • Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip the dry chicken in the melted butter to coat, then dredge in the Corn Flakes mixture.
  • Place the breaded tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Spritz lightly with nonstick spray or mist with oil (this helps them brown even more in the oven).
  • Bake for about 14-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is browned and crispy.

Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1.0 ounce packet Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix
2 pounds chicken tenders
1/2 cup salted butter (melted)
2 tablespoons dried parsley leaves (divided)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with tin foil.
  • Place Parmesan, Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix and 1 tablespoon of dried parsley leaves onto a large plate or shallow dish. Use a fork to mix ingredients well. Use another fork to dip both sides of the chicken tender in melted butter then both sides into Parmesan mixture, making sure all sides are coated well. Transfer Parmesan coated chicken tenders to foil lined baking sheet, placing 1/2 inch apart from each other. Once all chicken has been coated and placed onto baking sheet, bake for 23-35 minutes at 350 degrees F. then turn on oven's broiler and carefully watch to cook tops of chicken until browned. Each oven will be different, mine took about 3 minutes. I didn't leave the oven, just watched through the window. Once the Parmesan browns, it goes very fast, so watch carefully. Remove tenders from oven and let cool for a couple minutes before serving. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

I use the boxed Kellogg's cornflake crumbs for this, you can usually find them next to the Shake and Bake chicken coating mixes, if you are not able to find the boxed crumbs then you can use a processor to crush the cornflakes, reduce the baking time to 25 minutes for strips and for tenders bake only 20 minutes --- LOW-FAT OPTION use a healthy butter alternative in place of butter
