Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 1 1/4 cup gluten free panko bread crumbs toasted in a pan
  • 1/3 gluten free all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup Frank's red hot sauce
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 lb chicken tenders

Vegetables:

Dip:

  • 1/2 pack of Ranch dip mix
  • 1 cup plain 2% greek yogurt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 F.
  • In one bowl place the toasted panko breadcrumbs.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  • In another bowl, mix the melted butter, with hot sauce, garlic, and egg.
  • Dip the chicken tenders into the flour, then the egg mixture, then the panko and divide between two greased baking sheets.
  • Toss the carrots and celery with the olive oil and scatter around the chicken. Sprinkle everything with fleur de sel. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 F and is golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the ranch dip mix and yogurt.
  • To serve, drizzle with the dip and serve with your favourite grain like rice or quinoa.

Notes

  • I like using two sheet pans to avoid overcrowding my sheet pan. However, if you have a large enough sheet pan to fit everything in, then you're welcomed to use just one.
  • You can easily double or triple this recipe. Simply continue to dredge the chicken when your first batch is in the oven. When I was prepping for my baby's arrival, I tripled this buffalo chicken strips sheet pan dinner (hey, if you're going to dredge, you might as well dredge all day), so that we could enjoy half a batch for dinner, and then a lot more for later.
  • Cover the sheet pans with tin foil or parchment paper to save yourself from having to scrub them afterward.
