Ingredients Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Egg,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boneless chicken tenders<\/strong> (1 1\/4 pounds) – Chicken strips or chicken breasts work well here. You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egg <\/strong>– Acts as a binding agent to help the crushed Doritos stick to the chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk <\/strong>(1\/4 cup) – Combined with the egg, this helps coat the chicken evenly so that the crunchy coating is also more evenly distributed. You can use any kind of milk you have on hand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ground black pepper<\/strong> (1\/2 teaspoon) – For a touch of heat and added flavor. You don’t need to add any extra salt here, since the Doritos are quite salty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crushed cool ranch Doritos<\/strong> (1 1\/2 cups) – The star of the show—these chips pack all the seasoning and crunch you need for a delicious crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
