Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 –Line a baking tray with aluminum foil.
Step 3 –Put the parmesan cheese, ranch dressing seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of the dried parsley leaves onto a large plate or a shallow dish. Use a fork to then mix all of the ingredients fully.
Step 4 –Using another fork, dip each side of the chicken tenders into the melted butter and the parmesan cheese mixture, making sure that all sides are fully coated.
Step 5 –Move the coated chicken tenders onto the prepared lined baking tray, placing the chicken tenders about 1/2 inch apart from each other.

Step 7 –Turn on the broiler and cook the tops of the chicken, keeping a close eye on them and pulling them out when they are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Step 8 –Move the tenders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
