Method

  1. 1

    Season the chicken tenderloins with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the seasoned tenderloins in high‑protein flour, dip in beaten eggs, then roll in crushed corn flakes.

  3. 3

    Cook the coated tenderloins in a hot skillet or bake until golden and cooked through.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.
