Parents rejoice! Kids and adults alike love chicken tenders, so we created a healthier spin on this family favorite that’s simple enough to whip up for a weeknight dinner.

We started with strips of lean chicken breast meat coated in a creamy herb mixture of Clover Sonoma Pasture Raised Organic Whole Milk Plain Yogurt blended with ranch dip mix. Our yogurt helps seal in the juices to keep the chicken moist and tender in the oven.

After we dipped the tenders in yogurt, we rolled them in crispy panko bread crumbs and baked them to crunchy, golden brown perfection! With only four ingredients, this recipe is especially kid-friendly for your little kitchen helpers who want to lend a hand. And just wait ’till you see how fast they fly off the plate!
