I was looking for a way to amp up the flavor of regular chicken strips so I crushed up some leftover corn chips to create a crispy, flavorful coating.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup finely crushed corn chips
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup finely shredded mexican cheese blend
- 5 teaspoons taco seasoning
- dash cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°. In a shallow bowl mix the first 6 ingredients. Place butter in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken in butter, then roll in crumb mixture to coat; press to adhere. Place chicken in a foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165°, about 15 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time.
