Sometimes homemade chicken strips are the comfort food you need and these Cheesy Chicken Tenders do the trick! Coated in shredded cheddar and cornflakes, they are full of flavor and have a crunchy coating!
So I’ll be honest, I am not a huge fan of the multiple dipping………
…….all the extra dirty dishes, but these are worth it – trust me!
I never thought chicken strips would be comfort food to me but these totally changed my mind! They have that crunchy cheese breading/coating on the outside and the chicken stays moist and perfectly cooked on the inside!
We go through our fair share of frozen chicken nuggets – my kids – 22, 18, 15 – still love the dinosaur shaped ones! We go through our fair share of frozen chicken strips but these are a whole new level! Oh, we still eat the others because they are fast and convenient but these homemade ones are a special treat that everyone loves!
