INGREDIENTS
Chipotle Ranch Dressing
+ 1 1⁄2 C full-fat Greek yogurt
+ 1⁄4 C finely chopped chives
+ 1⁄4 C finely chopped parsley
+ 2 Tbsp finely chopped dill (or 2 tsp dried dill)
+ 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
+ 1 small garlic clove, minced
+ 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
+ 1/2 tsp ground chipotle pepper
+ 1/2 tsp finely ground black pepper
+ Kosher salt
Chicken Tenders
+ 1 1⁄2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins
+ Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
+ 1 C all-purpose flour
+ 2 Tbsp onion powder
+ 1 Tbsp garlic powder
+ 2 tsp dried thyme
+ 2 tsp paprika
+ 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
+ 1 tsp black pepper
+ 2 large eggs, beaten to blend
+ 2 C panko breadcrumbs
+ Non-stick cooking spray

PREPARATION

1. For the dressing: Mix together the yogurt, chives, parsley, dill, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Season to taste with salt. Cover and set aside while you prepare the chicken.
2. Prepare the chicken: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut chicken breasts lengthwise into about 1 1/4-inch-wide strips (tenderloins should be the perfect size already). Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
3. Mix together flour and seasonings in a large bowl. Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Place on large plate.
4. Place eggs in a large bowl and whisk with 1 teaspoon of water. Put breadcrumbs in a shallow baking dish and season with salt and pepper; place baking dish to the right of the bowl with the egg mixture. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and place to the right of the bread crumbs.
5. Dip chicken pieces in the egg mixture and then the breadcrumbs, shake off any excess, and arrange pieces on baking sheet, leaving room between them. (Tip: Dip the chicken in the egg wash and place in bread crumbs with your left hand, then toss and remove the chicken from the breadcrumbs with your right hand.)
6. Bake pieces until one side is beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip chicken pieces over and continue to cook until the other side is golden brown and crisp, another 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with chipotle ranch dressing.
