Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into even strips to ensure they cook uniformly. This step will help achieve that perfect tenderness we all love.
- Mix the Creamy Coating: In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and shredded cheese. Mix until well blended; this creamy coating is what makes these Crack Chicken Tenders so irresistible.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken strip into the creamy mixture, ensuring they are generously coated. This step adds flavor and creates that delightful creamy texture.
- Add Bacon Bits: Sprinkle bacon bits over the coated chicken strips for that savory crunch. This addition elevates the dish to a whole new level of deliciousness!

Notes
- Cut chicken strips to uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Let the coated chicken sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to enhance flavors.
- Keep an eye on the chicken to prevent overcooking; golden brown is the goal!
- Ensure your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safety.
