Instructions
- Cook the Chicken Tenders: Cook the frozen chicken tenders using your preferred method.

- For a crispier chicken, use an air fryer rather than baking.
- You can substitute ranch dressing with your favorite sauce or dressing to customize flavor.
- If you prefer a lower calorie option, use reduced-fat cheese and light ranch dressing.
