1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crunch)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well blended.
Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper, then dip each tender into the cheese mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
If desired, roll the coated tenders in panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy texture.
Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions over the top of the tenders.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and bubbly.
