Crispy Cheddar Chicken Tenders Recipe - chicken tenders coated in cheddar, Ranch and Ritz Crackers then baked and topped with a delicious sauce. One of our all-time favorite chicken recipes. Can coat the chicken ahead of time and freeze unbaked for later. Make sauce while tenders bake. Quick and easy weeknight meal!
In the bowl of a food processor, combine crackers, cheese, Ranch mix and pepper. Pulse until you have fine crumbs. Pour into shallow bowl.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 2 Tbsp milk.
Dip chicken tenders into egg mixture and then coat in cracker crumbs. Place chicken on foil lined baking pan. Repeat with remaining chicken tenders.
Bake for 12-15 minutes.
While chicken bakes, whisk together soup, butter, sour cream, milk, pepper and parsley. Bring to a boil and simmer until chicken is done. Spoon sauce over baked chicken.
Notes:
I suggest using Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup in this dish to control the sodium.
