Ingredients: 1/2 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs; 1/2 cup potato sticks, crushed; 1/2 cup crushed cheese crackers; 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese; 2 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled; 2 teaspoons minced fresh chives; 1/4 cup butter, melted; 1 tablespoon sour cream; 1 pound chicken tenderloins

I took all of the components of a loaded baked potato—cheddar, potato, bacon, sour cream and chives—and turned it into my latest quick and easy dish. Every kid will love these air-fryer chicken tenders! —Cyndy Gerken, Naples, Florida

Ingredients

1/2 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1/2 cup potato sticks, crushed
1/2 cup crushed cheese crackers
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
2 teaspoons minced fresh chives
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 pound chicken tenderloins

Directions

Preheat air fryer to 400°. In a shallow bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another shallow bowl, whisk butter and sour cream. Dip chicken in butter mixture, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
In batches, arrange chicken in a single layer in greased air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until coating is golden brown and chicken is no longer pink, 7-8 minutes on each side. Serve with additional sour cream and chives.

Potato sticks are found in the potato chip/snack aisle at your grocery store..... They look like very skinny, dried French fried potatoes..... They’re in tins, kind of like Pringles stackable potato chips .....
