I don't think this meal could get any more kid friendly. It's goldfish encrusted chicken tenders that you can serve over a salad, or serve with your favorite ranch or honey mustard dipping sauce! I have been saving this recipe for a long time! It was my go to lunch/dinner option in Jake and I's college days.
I can't believe I didn't share this one with you guys sooner! Everyone loves this dish, my husband, little brother, sister in law, and I am sure your family will love it too!
Not to mention it takes less than 25 minutes to have dinner on the table for the whole family!
You Need:
1 lb chicken tenderloins
1 cup of crushed goldfish crackers
⅓ cup of light ranch dressing
4 cups of chopped romaine salad
sliced cucumbers
cherry tomatoes
reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
more Goldfish for croutons 🙂
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray
Season chicken with salt and pepper
Put ranch dressing in one shallow bowl and goldfish crumbles in another
Dip chicken in ranch then roll in goldfish crumbles to completely cover
Place chicken on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until thoroughly cooked
While chicken is baking, make salads
Serve chicken on top of salads
Enjoy!

Oh smart thinking using crushed goldfish crackers for the breading! I bet it added a nice crunch to it.
