Serving: These tenders are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or buffalo sauce for extra flavor. They go great with a side of French fries or a simple salad.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a little splash of milk or cream to keep the sauce creamy.
Variants
Spicy Crack Chicken Tenders: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the sauce for a spicy kick.
Bacon-Free Version: For a lighter version, skip the bacon and use a bit of smoked paprika for flavor.
Dairy-Free Option: Replace the cream cheese and cheddar with dairy-free alternatives like cashew cream or a non-dairy cheese.
