Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Step 2As it heats, fill a food processor with Doritos. Put on the lid and pulse until you have a fine crumble. If you don't have a food processor, place them in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag and smash until they're dust, basically. Once you have about 1 1/2 cups of crumbled Doritos, pour them into a shallow bowl.
3. Step 3In a second shallow bowl, crack two eggs and beat them with a fork until thoroughly combined. In a third shallow bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. Set all three bowls in a row, starting with flour mixture, then egg mixture, then crushed Doritos. Place them next to a baking sheet (it will all make sense soon, promise).
4. Step 4Cut chicken breasts into strips. Dip each strip into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then the Doritos, then place them about an inch apart on a baking sheet (ideally lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup afterward).
5. Step 5Bake chicken tenders for 30-35 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. If you cut a chicken strip in half, the inside should be entirely white.
