# Ingredients:

01 - 1 lb chicken tenders

02 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise

03 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

04 - 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix

05 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder

06 - 1/2 tsp onion powder

07 - 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers

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!

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.
