Crunchy Chicken Bites


I got this recipe from the ward cookbook- Chris Runhaar submitted it and we all loved it!

1 lb. Chicken Tenders, cut up into bite-sized pieces
1 egg white
1/2 package Dry Ranch dressing mix
6 C. Whole grain chips (I used Sunchips)
1/4 tsp. Paprika

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together 1 T. dressing mix and egg white. Crush chips in a re-sealable bag: add remaining dressing mix and paprika- Shake well. Add chicken to egg mixture: mix well to coat. Add half of the coated chicken to chips; shake to coat and arrange on a single layer on a pan. Repeat with remaining chicken. Spray chicken with nonstick spary. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
