Cheesy Onion Ranch Chicken is is filled with all of the crunchy flavors I love! Ranch, crispy fried onions, cheese and more!
My son’s favorite food is chicken tenders. He used to love them anyway he could get them. The first time he ate these Cheesy Onion Ranch Chicken, he was hooked. They are now his absolute favorite.
Sometimes chicken breasts or tenders can be bland. This recipe solves that problem! I don’t know about your teenagers, but my boy could live off chicken tenders alone. The first time I made these for him I knew I had a winner!
There are several layers of flavor in this Cheesy Onion Ranch Chicken recipe. I think that’s why it is so darn good.
If I made the chicken with any of these tasty ingredients by themselves the chicken would probably be great too! This has so much goodness that it really can’t be beat. What is it about ranch dressing that makes it taste so good?
The first layer of flavor is a ranch dressing or ranch dressing packet. The next layer is crispy fried onions. I could eat a container of those by themselves!
Next comes the Parmesan cheese. In my opinion cheese makes everything better. Right?
The last component is corn flakes. They add a great crunch!
It adds that crunch that I miss when eating baked chicken instead of fried. The best part to me is you dip the chicken in melted butter, and then dredge it in all that flavor.
When you add all of that goodness together, how can it not taste amazing?? If you ask my son, he would say it does!

Perfection. Crispy and cheesy and ranch-y (that really should become an adjective), and perfect to eat as tenders, on a salad or even in a wrap or quesadilla! Saving this one for sure!
