Anniversary Chicken (or Teriyaki-Ranch Chicken)

Story:
My friend Erin L. is in a dinner group with a few other families. One day she was raving about some chicken that our friend Heather D. had made for the other families. So, you know me, I called Heather to get the recipe and this is what she gave me...

Ben asked me why this dish was called "Anniversary Chicken" ... I told him I didn't know, that's just what Heather called it. So he told me I should just call it Teriyaki-Ranch Chicken. Call it what you will, it tastes great!

Ingredients:
Chicken tenders (however many for your fam)
2/3 C teriyaki sauce
2/3 C ranch dressing
3 oz. crumbled bacon
1 1/3 C grated sharp cheddar cheese
4 green onions

Directions:
Brown and season the chicken tenders in a pan.
Put in a 9x13 baking dish.
Mix the sauces together and pour over the chicken.
Top with the cheese, bacon, and onions.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
Serve over rice.

Notes:
Heather recommended using the jarred ranch dressing in the refrigerator section of the produce section. So that's what I've used to make it. I haven't tried the good ol' Hidden Valley kind yet, but I assume it would be just fine.
