Ingredients needed
- Chicken tenders or sliced chicken breast
- Ranch seasoning
- Buffalo sauce
Helpful Recipe Tips
- Take note of the salt/sodium levels in your ranch seasoning. Any buffalo sauce you choose unless homemade will be very salty. The seasoning I used in this recipe was salt free so I added 1/2 tsp of salt. If I used Hidden Valley I wouldn’t dare use any salt at all.
- Oven rack or baking sheet? You can make this recipe with either. Due to no breading, using a oven rack will not produce a crispy chicken strip. I like the oven rack for more even cooking.
