- 2 lbs. chicken tenders
- 10 ounces cheddar cheese sprinkles
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup ranch pourable dressing
- 6 ounces bacon cooked until crisp
- 2 cups Ritz Crackers crushed
- 1 cup milk
Prepare 3 bowls; one for the milk, 6 ounces of cheddar, and the last for the crushed crackers.
Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with non-stick spray.
Cook your bacon on a microwave safe plate until crispy.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Dip the chicken tenders into the milk, then cheese, and finally into the cracker crumbs. Be sure to firmly press the mixture onto your tenders; repeat.
Once all your chicken tenders are coated, and lining the casserole, place them into your warmed oven.
Bake for 45 minutes.
Remove from oven, and add a layer of ranch dressing, then the remaining cheese, and finally the bacon crumbles. Place back in the oven for 8 minutes.
Serve your Cheesy Chicken, Bacon and Ranch Dressing warm, and gooey!
