    How to make Cheesy Ranch Chicken Tenders:

    Step one: Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F and then prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside. You will use the cooking spray again.

    • Tip: I like to use an oil based cooking spray for this recipe. 

    Step two: Next get your ingredients prepped. In a large bowl place ranch dressing and in a separate bowl add bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese.

    Step three: Now it's time to coat your chicken. Start  by placing chicken first bowl and coat in dressing. Make sure to allow excess to drip on before rolling in the second bowl to coat in breading. Once seasoned you can place yout chicken on prepared baking sheet and repeat with each chicken tender.

    Step four: Spray your chicken tenders with nonstick cooking spray.

    • Tip: This will help your breading not to get dry when baking. You can also crush on oil.

    Step five: Bake for 20-25 minutes flipping halfway through or until cooked through.
