Pretzel-Crusted Ranch Chicken Tenders

Where’s the Ranch???

You might be wondering why there is ketchup pictured, and not Ranch dressing???

Look a little more closely, and you’ll see the Ranch…

It’s mixed in with the crushed pretzels. You could totes serve these with Ranch…but Ranch plus Ranch…might be too much Ranch. Or maybe there’s not such a thing as too much Ranch???

GONE. These were GONE, in minutes, when I served these to the boys.

You make these for your little people, and my guess is that they’ll be gone too!
