Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken tenders

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced cooked bacon

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and well mixed.

    Add the cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese to the cream cheese mixture. Stir to combine evenly.

      Preheat your frying oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

        Dip each chicken tender into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

          Carefully place the coated chicken tenders in the hot oil, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

            Once cooked, remove the tenders from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel.

              While they are cooling slightly, sprinkle the sliced green onions on top for added color and flavor.

                Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them plain!
