Oven Fried Spicy Ranch Chicken Strips

So, I put a spin on our favorite oven fried chicken strips that you all seemed to love when I shared the recipe last time. These chicken strips are so good and they literally fry themselves in butter while baking in the oven. How can you beat that?

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 1-1/4 pounds chicken breast tenders
  • 1 cup Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch Dressing
  • 1 tablespoon milk or bottled hot sauce
  • 1-1/2 cups panko bread crumbs

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Add the butter to a large rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven until the butter has melted. Remove from the pan from the oven and set aside.
  • Add the ranch dressing to a pie plate and thin it out with 1 tablespoon of milk or hot sauce, depending on how spicy you want things. Stir to combine.
  • In a separate pie plate, add the panko bread crumbs.
  • Coat each piece of chicken in the ranch dressing and then the bread crumbs, pressing so they adhere to the chicken.
  • Place each piece of chicken on the baking sheet in the melted butter.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 8 minutes, flip each piece of chicken over, and continue baking for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
