1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that the chicken will cook evenly and get that perfect golden color.
2. In a shallow dish, mix together the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and ranch seasoning. This mixture will create the flavorful coating for our chicken.
3. In two separate shallow dishes, place the flour and eggs. This is your dredging station! Make sure the dishes are wide enough for easy dipping.
4. Take each chicken tenderloin and first dredge it in the flour. This layer will help the eggs stick better.
5. Next, dip the floured tenderloin into the eggs, ensuring it is completely coated. This is crucial for the breadcrumbs to adhere properly.
6. Finally, roll the tenderloin in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well. You want a nice, even coating.
7. Place each coated tender on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they’re about an inch apart.
8. Once all the tenders are coated, it's time to bake them! Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven.
9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
10. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. You can serve them immediately or allow them to cool on a wire rack.
