Tenders of Crack Chicken

Components:

1. 1 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips, often known as chicken tenders
2. One packet (1 oz) of homemade ranch spice or ranch seasoning blend
3. 8 ounces of softened cream cheese
4. Half a cup of cooked bacon, broken up into around six pieces
5. 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend) that has been shredded
6. 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish, if desired)
7. To taste, add salt and pepper.
8. Two tablespoons of butter or olive oil (for cooking)

Directions:

• Turn the oven on to 375°F, or 190°C.
• To cook the chicken, heat a large skillet over medium heat with butter or olive oil. Add salt and pepper to the chicken tenders and heat in the skillet until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side. After taking them out of the skillet, place them aside.
• To make the crack sauce, put the cream cheese, ranch seasoning, crumbled bacon, and cheddar cheese in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mix everything up thoroughly. If you would like, you can blend the cream cheese more easily by using a hand mixer.
• Put the dish together: In a baking dish, arrange the cooked chicken tenders. Make sure the chicken tenders are completely coated by evenly spreading the cream cheese mixture over them.
• Bake: Bake in a preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sauce is golden brown on top and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
• Garnish and Serve: Take the dish out of the oven when it has finished baking. If using, top with chopped green onions and serve right away.

Advice:

• Chicken substitute: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are a simple option if you don’t have chicken tenders. Before cooking, simply cut them into bite-sized chunks or strips.
• Make it spicy: You can add a dab of hot sauce or slices of jalapeño to the sauce combination to give it a spicy bite.
• Use a different cheese: Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a cheese combination are some alternatives to the traditional cheddar.
• Add vegetables: For extra vegetables, you can add broccoli or spinach to the baking dish. Before adding them to the dish, simply blanch them.

Why It’s Excellent:

• Rich and creamy: The sauce created by combining cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and cheddar cheese is a fantastic match for the chicken.
