I make this with my daughter almost once a week.

I was a working stay-at-home mom when my daughter was a toddler.
If anyone knew about the absence of extra time, it was me.

Thats when frozen chicken nuggets and chicken tenders entered my world.
That was great, but then it got boring.
Those tenders and nuggets all started to taste the same, no matter how I served them.

Plus, I wanted less breading and more chicken!
Thats when I decided I needed to make my own.
Now we make these chicken tenders all the time.

Combine the flour and the remaining contents of the ranch seasoning packet in another shallow bowl.
Add the panko and potato chips to a third bowl.
Season the tenders with salt and pepper.
Working with one at a time, dredge the tenders in the flour mixture.
Tap off excess, then dip in the egg mixture to coat.
Briefly let any excess drip off, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat all sides.
Transfer to a plate or baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining tenders.
Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
Spray both sides of the tenders with cooking spray.
Working in 2 to 3 batches, add them to the air-fryer basket in a single layer.
Transfer to the wire rack and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking any remaining batches.
Serve with ranch dip.
