1
Prepare the Chicken Tenders
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, season the chicken tenders with salt and black pepper.
2
Coat with Buffalo Sauce
In a separate bowl, toss the seasoned chicken tenders with olive oil and Buffalo sauce until well coated.
3
Bake the Chicken
Arrange the coated chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked and crispy.

4
Toast the Texas Toast
While the chicken is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter one side of each slice of Texas toast and place in the skillet. Toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5
Assemble the Sandwich
Once the chicken tenders are cooked, place 2 tenders on 2 slices of toasted Texas toast. Top each with a slice of Monterey jack cheese. Place the remaining slices of toast on top to create a sandwich.
6
Melt the Cheese
Return the sandwiches to the skillet, cooking on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
7
Prepare the Lunch Box
Serve the Buffalo chicken melts with a side of Miss Fancy's ranch dressing and a bag of chips for a complete boxed lunch.
