OVEN BAKED ONION RANCH CHICKEN TENDERS



Oven Baked Onion Ranch Chicken Tenders image

This recipe is almost identical to Kittencal's Easy and Delicious Ranch-Parmesan Chicken (Recipe #200296). I used all the same spices. I had chicken tenders left after I used up all of the seasoned breading from her recipe (because I wasn't using the size she stated in the recipe) so I mixed more using Frenches Brand French Fried Onions instead of the parmesan cheese and everyone loved them. She had the option of using less spices and you can do that with this one if you want, but we liked it with the full teaspoon of spices. Also due to the onions being fried, I left the butter off of the Onion Ranch batch because there was enough fat from the onions to brown nicely. As Kittencal said, you can marinate your chicken in the ranch dressing 2 -24 hours (highly recommend it because it was wonderful). I marinated mine for 18 hours. Prep time does not include marinating, but is longer than Kittencal's because of the smaller, more numerous pieces taking longer to coat.

Time 29m

Yield 20-30 chicken tenders, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs chicken breast tenders
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup French-fried onions
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup ranch salad dressing

Steps:

  • Set oven to 400° F with rack in lowest position.
  • Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch or larger foil lined baking sheet.
  • Place the fried onions in a shallow bowl and crush them until they are about the size of your panko bread crumbs. I used an absorbant paper towel to crush them to remove some of the excess oil.
  • Add the panko, seasoned salt, black pepper and garlic powder to the crushed onions and mix together.
  • Dip the chicken into the ranch to coat and allow excess to drip off.
  • Coat in the onion and panko mixture.
  • Place in a single layer on the greased baking sheet. Do not use a smaller baking sheet to prevent soggy chicken coating.
  • Bake uncovered for 7 minutes turn and cook until done. Usually another 7 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the tenderloins. This will take longer if you use full size chicken breast.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe, as they will stay moist and flavorful during baking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Tender Onion Baked Chicken is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of onion, garlic, herbs, and spices, then roasted until tender and juicy. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
