PARMESAN CHICKEN TENDERS WITH ONION DIP
These are great to have while watching football. The preparation time for the onion dip is 15 minutes with a 30-minute cook time. The onion dip makes about 2 cups. You can prepare it ahead of time if you like and serve it at room temperature. The preparation time for the chicken tenders is 15 minutes prep time and 15 minutes cook time. I have combined these times for the preparation and cook time in the recipe. Of course, you can just make the chicken tenders without the dip.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't overcrowd the chicken in the pan when frying. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry and result in soggy chicken tenders.
- Cook the chicken tenders over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the chicken tenders immediately with the peanut butter dipping sauce.
