Anniversary Chicken Tenders

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.

Anniversary chicken is a rather famous recipe. Been around a long time. I don’t have any idea, though, where the name came from. I made my own twist on this recipe. Most often it’s made with chicken breast. I made mine with chicken tenders. I served this for a small dinner but I can see a platter of these being put on a buffet for a bigger party. I served mine with simple roasted green beans. Quick weeknight meal.

Servings: Serves 2 – 3

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbl olive oil
• 1 package of chicken tenders (about 8)
• ¼ cup of teriyaki basting sauce
• ¼ cup of ranch dressing
• ½ – 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 4 pieces of bacon, cooked and chopped

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a skillet over medium heat, add the oil and the chicken tenders. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes to get them browned on one side. Place the browned pieces in a 9” x 9” oven proof pan. Spread the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Then drizzle the dressing on top.

Scatter the cheddar cheese over the top as well as the green onions.

Put in the oven to bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until there is no pink remaining in the chicken. If you are not confident, cut one open to check.

While the chicken is baking you can make your bacon if you did not do so in advance.

When the chicken comes out of the oven, sprinkle with the bacon and serve.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
