Baked Ranch Chicken Tenders and Veggies
No one will ever believe that these crisp chicken fingers are completely baked and cooked on ONE PAN with veggies!
Happy 4th everyone! Now I know I should be posting some sort of crazy burger-hot-dog-hybrid concoction for this holiday but you’ll have to take these chicken fingers instead because, well, chicken fingers works for any type of occasion, enjoyed by both children and adults.
It’s even better when they are completely baked from start to finish, except no one can really tell that these are baked. They are just that crisp!
The secret is using crushed Corn Flakes, breading this up with all-purpose flour and Ranch seasoning, my favorite ingredient of all.
To make the pot even sweeter, you can bake your veggies right alongside your chicken tenders, making this an easy-peasy full-rounded meal!
Baked Ranch Chicken Tenders and Veggies
Ingredients
- 16 ounces baby red potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1-ounce package Ranch Seasoning and Salad Dressing Mix
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 cups crushed Corn Flakes
- 4 zucchini, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- Place potatoes in a single layer onto one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine flour and Ranch Seasoning. Working in batches, dredge chicken in flour mixture, dip into eggs, then dredge in crushed Corn Flakes, pressing to coat.
- Place onto the opposite side of the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and coat with nonstick spray. Place into oven and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 16-18 minutes.* Stir in zucchini during the last 10 minutes of cooking time.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Hi!
I just discovered your blog this week, and I am very excited to test out many of the recipes. My kids are very picky eaters and not happy with what I’ve been cooking =/ I had one question for you; I’ve noticed that is some of the recipes you include a final step to put food in a casserole dish/baking sheet and “coat with nonstick spray.” I don’t use nonstick spray, so do I just skip that step, or can I do it a different way?
Thanks!
Yes, you can certainly do this another way. I just recommend to grease the pan with something to ensure that nothing sticks. Hope that helps!
Am I missing it or what do you do with zucchini except stir it the last 10 minutes? Mix it in with the potatoes? Looks delicious. Thank you!!
I’m also going to try it with sweet potatoes instead of red potatoes. 🙂
That’s exactly right. The zucchini is stirred in during the last 10 minutes of cooking time.
I made this last night for dinner and my kiddo, 6yr old, picky eater, loved it! She ate two pieces and on the first bite she was telling me how good it was! Thank you for such a simple/easy/quick/healthy all in one recipe!
What a fantastic way to use simple ingredients and come up with a delicious dish! 🙂
I just tried these chicken tenders and I love them! They’re so quick, easy and flavorful. Thanks for the great recipe!
Do you think this recipe would work with drumsticks? Would doing so change the temp/cooking time at all?
I’m sure drumsticks will work just fine, but without further recipe testing, I cannot advise the appropriate temp/time. Please use your best judgment.
