I was looking for a way to amp up the flavor of regular chicken strips so I crushed up some leftover corn chips to create a crispy, flavorful coating. —Cynthia Gerken, Naples, Florida

Ingredients

1/2 cup finely crushed corn chips
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely shredded Mexican cheese blend
5 teaspoons taco seasoning
Dash cayenne pepper
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 pound chicken tenderloins

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a shallow bowl mix the first 6 ingredients. Place butter in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken in butter, then roll in crumb mixture to coat; press to adhere. Place chicken in a foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165°, about 15 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time.

Test Kitchen tips

This chicken would taste great chopped and served over taco salad.

If you like dipping chicken strips, try these with salsa, guacamole, sour cream or ranch dressing.
