Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast tenders
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup French-fried onions
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup ranch salad dressing

Method

  • Set oven to 400° F with rack in lowest position.
  • Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch or larger foil lined baking sheet.
  • Place the fried onions in a shallow bowl and crush them until they are about the size of your panko bread crumbs. I used an absorbant paper towel to crush them to remove some of the excess oil.
  • Add the panko, seasoned salt, black pepper and garlic powder to the crushed onions and mix together.
  • Dip the chicken into the ranch to coat and allow excess to drip off.
  • Coat in the onion and panko mixture.
  • Place in a single layer on the greased baking sheet. Do not use a smaller baking sheet to prevent soggy chicken coating.
  • Bake uncovered for 7 minutes turn and cook until done. Usually another 7 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the tenderloins. This will take longer if you use full size chicken breast.
