Method
Season the chicken tenderloins with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat the seasoned tenderloins in high‑protein flour, dip in beaten eggs, then roll in crushed corn flakes.
Cook the coated tenderloins in a hot skillet or bake until golden and cooked through.
For the Southwest ranch, combine non‑fat Greek yogurt, light mayo, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder, and salt; blend until smooth and creamy, adding water as needed to reach a drizzle consistency.
For the hot honey sauce, whisk together honey, hot sauce, and minced garlic; drizzle over the cooked chicken tenders and garnish with chopped green onions.
