Cheesy Doritos Chicken Tenders
Ingredients:
1 ½ lbs chicken tenders (or chicken breast cut into strips)
2 cups Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed into fine crumbs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
Cooking spray or olive oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease.
In one bowl, place flour seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
In a second bowl, beat eggs.
In a third bowl, mix crushed Doritos with shredded cheddar.
Dredge each chicken tender first in flour, then in egg, then coat well in the Doritos-cheese mixture.
Place coated tenders on the baking sheet. Lightly spray tops with cooking spray.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Serve hot with ranch, chipotle mayo, or queso dip.
