# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 1.5 pounds chicken tenders or chicken breasts cut into strips
→ Breading
02 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
03 - 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
04 - 0.5 teaspoon paprika
05 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
06 - 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
→ Wet Coating
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 2 tablespoons milk or non-dairy milk
→ For Serving
10 - Ranch dressing or preferred dipping sauce
11 - Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or apply nonstick spray.
02 - In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.
03 - In a separate shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly.
04 - Pat chicken tenders dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
05 - Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Immediately coat in panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure breading adheres evenly.
06 - Place breaded chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet with even spacing between pieces.
07 - Lightly spray the top surface of each tender with cooking spray for enhanced crispiness.
08 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. Tenders are done when coating is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
09 - Transfer to serving plate, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately with preferred dipping sauce.
