Baked Buffalo Chicken Tenders

When people think of buffalo sauce they often imagine thickly coated wings paired with blue cheese dip or a juicy chicken sandwich. You can use it on your tenders for a tangy, savory dish you can pair with an array of sides such as peas and mashed potatoes. Adding some cheese on top before or after you bake the tenders will make it that much more creamy and delicious!

What you need 🛒🛒🛒:

2 pounds chicken tenders

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/3 cup mozzarella cheese

Chives, finely chopped for topping (optional)

What you do 🍳🍳🍳:

Step  1

Turn your oven to bake at 400F. Squeeze lemon juice over the tenders to remove the raw chicken smell and taste.

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Check the internal temperature or take a small piece to taste and make sure it is cooked through.
