Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 (1 oz packets) dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together buttermilk, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Add in chicken, then stir to combine.
  • Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. If you're going to marinate longer, cover the bowl with saran wrap and place it in the fridge for up to 8 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • Mix together flour and ranch seasoning on one plate.
  • Whisk eggs on another plate.
  • Mix panko and parmesan on a third plate.
  • Drain chicken.
  • Working with one chicken tenderloin at a time, fully cover the tenderloin in the flour/ranch mixture, then whisked egg, and then panko/parmesan mixture.
  • Place onto prepared baking sheet, then repeat with remaining tenderloins.
  • Spray the tops with cooking spray.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the panko is golden-brown and the chicken is cooked through.
