Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken tenderloins

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

1/4 cup green onions, sliced

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil spray for baking

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning mix, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions. Mix until well blended and creamy.

      Season the chicken tenderloins with salt and pepper for extra flavor.

        Dip each chicken tenderloin into the cheese mixture, completely coating it. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.

          Roll each coated tender in breadcrumbs until evenly covered. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

            Lightly spray the chicken tenders with olive oil for a golden finish when baking.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.

                Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
