From 29 Minutes to Dinner by Pampered Chef

1 lb. chicken tenders (or cut up 4 chicken breasts)

1 egg white

6 cups whole grain chips (like Sunchips)

1/2 tsp. paprika

1 pkg. dry ranch dressing mix (all but 1 Tablespoon)

vegetable oil

hot sauce and crumbled blue cheese (optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces.  Whisk together 1 tbsp. of the dry ranch dressing mix and egg white in bowl.  Crush chips and place in resealable plastic bag; add remaining dressing mix and paprika and shake well.

Add chicken to egg white mixture, mix well to coat.  Then dip chicken in crumb mixture and shake to coat with crumbs.  Arrange chicken in single layer on cookie sheet or stoneware sheet.  Spray chicken with Pam spray.  Bake 14 - 16 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and centers are no longer pink.  Remove from oven.  

If desired, drizzle chicken with hot sauce and crumble blue cheese over top.  May make ranch dressing to dip using remaining dry dressing.
