Savory chicken tenders with a crispy coating of Ritz crackers, Ranch seasoning, and Parmesan, ready in 30 minutes!

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 lb chicken tenders
02 - ½ cup mayonnaise
03 - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
05 - ½ tsp garlic powder
06 - ½ tsp onion powder
07 - 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
04 - Coat each chicken tender in the mayo mixture, then dredge in crushed Ritz crackers, pressing to ensure coating sticks.
05 - Arrange chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out for even cooking.
06 - Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
07 - Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

# Additional Notes:

01 - Substitutions: Greek yogurt or sour cream can replace mayonnaise for a lighter option.
02 - Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free crackers instead of Ritz.
03 - Extra Crispiness: Broil for the last 1-2 minutes of baking for added crunch, watching carefully to prevent burning.
04 - Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
