Time 38m

Number Of Ingredients 11

10-12 chicken tenders, about 3 pounds
2/3 cup Mayo*
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups crushed Cheese Nips or Cheez-Its
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2/3 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Italian seasonings
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
non stick cooking spray
Ranch dressing, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Crush Crackers by placing them in a Ziplock bag and rolling over the bag with a rolling pin or by placing them in a food processor for 1-2 minutes (be careful not to over processor them).
  • Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and then add the melted butter in and mix well.
  • Rinse and pat the tenders dry
  • Spray a wire cooling rack with nonstick spray and place on a cookie sheet
  • Brush the mayo on the chicken tenders, be sure to coat both side evenly, then place the chicken in the Cheese crumbs mixture and press firmly to make sure the coating sticks.
  • Put chicken tenders on a wire cooling rack This helps the heat to circulate all the way around the chicken to ensure crispness.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden in color and juices run clear
  • **you can substitute mayo for sour cream or greek yogurt

CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN TENDERS

This is my own take on Cheez-It Chicken. The ingredients add flavor to the chicken and keep it moist, but aren't as spicy as some other recipes posted on here.
