Cool Ranch Chicken Tenders

Cool Ranch Chicken Tenders recipe - chicken tenders coated in taco seasoning and ranch - baked not fried! Ready in 15 minutes!! Can coat tenders and freeze uncooked for later.

I get a lot of questions about what type/brand of chicken I buy. My favorite brand is Tyson ® Fresh Chicken. I love it because it is all natural* without added hormones or steroids**. It is delivered within days of leaving the farm, so I know it is fresh. It’s the next best thing to being on the farm! Which is good, because I’m not a farm kind of girl.

Tyson Fresh Chicken has a great site for easy meal planning – PickTysonFresh.com. The site has convenient recipe ideas that save time and effort. My kind of recipes! I am always striving to make quick and easy meals. I don’t want to spend all night in the kitchen. I want to have plenty of time to spend with Chicken Legs and the cats.

Put these chicken tenders on your menu ASAP! They are crazy good. We both took one bite and said “YUM!” The chicken is coated in a mixture of taco and ranch seasoning. It is so good. They tasted similar to Cool Ranch Doritos, but healthier. These chicken tenders are on the table in under 30 minutes. I had the chicken coated in the time the oven preheated and popped them in the oven for about 15 minutes. These were so good that I wished I had doubled the recipe so I had leftovers for lunch. I am already planning on making these again very soon!

  1. Lately during the summer we have been doing a lot of grilled chicken but normally we like to cut chicken breasts thin and make chicken sandwiches, but now after seeing this new cool ranch chicken we may have to make this soon!!

  2. I like to make a quick Chicken Parmesan by breading the chicken and baking it. I also make a quick sauce and cook noodles to top off the meal with some shredded mozzarella. Thanks for the chance to enter.

  3. My favorite quick chicken "recipe" is to throw boneless skinless breasts in the crockpot with some sort of sauce/seasoning- BBQ, Italian dressing, spaghetti sauce, taco seasoning- whatever I have on hand! We normally shred the chicken and eat in wraps.

  4. I love McCormick's Smokin Sweet Tea marinade – marinade while at work – grill when I get home – either a breast or thigh – great on either – and then take leftovers and slice on a salad for the next day. Great stuff!

  5. My favorite is crockpot chicken with French onion soup, potatoes, carrots and green beans. Yummy! This is one of my families' favorites!

  6. The recipe for Ultimate Chicken Fingers that you shared on here. But I usually leave out the parm and sub regular salt for the garlic salt.

  7. One of our favorite ways to prepare chicken is in Chicken Bog. Shredded chicken, rice, and summer sausage, all mixed together. Yum!

  8. We make buffalo chicken tenders, breaded with panko and baked, that are quick, easy, and delicious!

  9. Our favorite quick chicken recipie is to marinade thinly sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a mixture of lemon, olive oil, salt, pepper, & oregano. Then broil or grill. It's awesome!

  10. A favorite quick recipe is to marinade chicken in Italian dressing from a local restaurant and then grill.

  11. My fav chicken recipe is Bacon Cheddar Baked Chicked using Kraft Fresh Take. It is so yummy and easy and inexpensive. Plus they have several other flavors.

  12. My favorite quick chicken recipe is to take boneless, skinless breasts, pound them evenly, season with McCormick Roasted Garlic Seasoning and a little bit of Liquid Smoke and then put them on my George Foreman. I eat them plain or put them in salads or whatever crosses my mind.
