Step 1: Preparing the Chicken Tenders
Begin by selecting fresh chicken tenders for this flavorful bowl. If using whole chicken breasts, slice them into tender-sized strips. Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor. This step is crucial for building a solid flavor base.
Step 2: Breading the Tenders
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for all-purpose flour, one for beaten eggs, and another for breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken tender in flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dip the floured tender into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off before transferring it to the breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure an even coating.
Step 3: Frying the Tenders
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken tenders in batches. Fry them for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety and best results. Remove the cooked tenders and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Step 4: Cooking the Rice
While the chicken tenders are frying, prepare the rice according to package instructions. You can use white or brown rice, depending on your preference. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to keep it light. Set the rice aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Step 5: Chopping Fresh Vegetables
Next, prepare the fresh vegetables for your Crunch Bowl. Shred the lettuce, dice the tomato, and chop the cucumber into small pieces. You can also include additional veggies like bell peppers or shredded carrots for extra color and nutrition. Fresh vegetables will provide a nice crunch and contrast to the crispy tenders.
Step 6: Assembling the Crunch Bowl
Once the chicken is cooked and the rice is ready, it’s time to assemble your Original Tenders™ Crunch Bowl. Start with a generous base of cooked rice in a large bowl. Layer the crispy chicken tenders on top of the rice, followed by the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cucumbers. This creates a visually appealing and delicious foundation.
Step 7: Adding Corn and Dressing
Sprinkle corn over the top of the bowl for added sweetness and texture. Drizzle ranch dressing generously over the assembled ingredients, providing a creamy contrast to the crispy chicken. The dressing will bring everything together and enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
Step 8: Serving the Combo
Your Original Tenders™ Crunch Bowl Combo is now ready to serve! Enjoy it alongside your favorite beverage for a complete meal experience. Each bite combines the crunch of the tenders, the freshness of the veggies, and the heartiness of the rice, making it a satisfying and delightful choice for any occasion.
