What You’ll Need

Eggs

Makes 3 servings

20 minutes active 

30 minutes total 

Step 1 

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line 2 sheet pans with foil or parchment paper and coat with vegetable oil. 

Step 2 

Slice the chicken into strips about ½-inch thick. In a bowl, stir together the panko and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, season with salt, and beat with a fork. Dredge each chicken strip in the eggs, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Coat with the panko mixture, pressing to help the crumbs stick. Lay the chicken strips on one of the pans.

Step 3 

Bake until the chicken is crispy and golden on the bottom, 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to bake until golden on the second side, 10 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Season with salt and grind generously with pepper. 

Step 4 

Meanwhile, pile the sweet potatoes on the other pan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. 

Step 5

Transfer the ranch to a small bowl. Arrange the chicken tenders and sweet potato fries on plates and serve warm, with the ranch for dipping. 

Contains: tree nuts, wheat.

Note: The chicken may arrive frozen for freshness. Store it in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost it same day, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water, and leave the tap running in a thin stream for about 30 minutes.
