Notes
Pro Tips:
- Place Close Together: Place your chicken close together while cooking. This keeps all of the toppings from escaping and ending up at the bottom of your dish.
- Line Dish: Line your baking dish with foil for a mess-free cleanup—especially handy on busy nights!
- Check Temperature: Baked chicken tenders are done when the internal temperature reaches 165-170 degrees. Always cut into your chicken, and if the juices run clear, your chicken is done. If you are unsure, use a meat thermometer.
- French Onion Dip: Only use the refrigerated French Onion Dip. The French onion dip in the chip aisle will NOT work. I used a store brand, and it worked great.
