I decided to create a blog so that I could share recipes with my family and friends :) I am very family orientated and love to spend time with them any chance I get and most of my close friends, I consider to be like family. This blog will be kept short, simple and fun. I love to cook in the kitchen and try new recipes so if you have any new ones you would like me to try....just email me or comment :)

Jalapeno Ranch Chicken Tenders (Spicy Ranch Chicken Tenders)

I know it's not always the healthiest of choices when you bread food, but I just can't get enough of Panko bread crumbs. This recipe called for it so how could I not try it!! 

Simple and easy chicken tenders that were so tender & juicy! Thanks to Real HouseMoms for this recipe. She called hers Jalapeno Ranch Chicken Tenders. I took the easy way out and instead of making my own jalapeno ranch (which I will next time), I decided to use bottle (I am not a big fan of ranch from a bottle..I usually will not eat it). I couldn't find the Jalapeno that I have seen before so I decided to go with Spicy Ranch instead.

I also decided to bake mine in the oven instead of using the stove top!




Ingredients:
3-4 boneless chicken breasts
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups Panko bread crumbs
Italian seasoning to taste
1 cup jalapeno ranch dressing
oil for cooking (rack & pan if you use the oven)

What To Do:
  • Pour oil to cover the bottom of your skillet & set to medium-high heat
  • **If you decide to use the oven, preheat oven to 400F
  • Pour some jalapeno ranch dressing on a plate
  • Mix bread crumbs, cheese and seasonings in a shallow bowl
  • Dip chicken in the dressing and then coat in the bread crumbs (I also sprinkled kosher salt on the chicken before hand to give some more flavor and to help keep chicken juicy)
  • Place in pre-heated skillet
  • Turn halfway through cooking & cook until no longer pink in the middle
  • **Place on a wire rack on top of a pan (Spray the wire rack)
  • Cook for 25 minutes in the oven, flipping chicken halfway through
