These Air Fryer Cheddar Bacon Chicken Tenders are nothing short of amazing! Crispy panko, smoky bacon, and cheddar cheese come together to form the most flavorful, easy to make chicken tender recipe ever! This family-friendly weeknight dinner is ready in just 12-minutes in the air fryer.
We love our new Power Air Fryer [paid link] and anything with bacon and cheese and these reminded me of loaded baked potato skins. These tenders may very well be our new favorite way to eat chicken tenders! How can I tell? My daughter ate them for lunch 3 days in a row!
No doubt, this recipe is a keeper.
These chicken tenders are very filling and take weeknight chicken dinners to a whole new level! I dipped mine in my favorite sour cream ranch dip (another nod to my favorite loaded potato skins) and it was awesome! My husband and daughter dunked theirs into my Homemade Honey Mustard Sauce. Both sauces tasted delicious with these tenders.
