Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders with Ranch Dip

This is one of my favorite easy meals. The main part of it, the bacon wrapped chicken tenders, have just two ingredients. They take less than 5 minutes to prep and making the dip also takes less than 5 minutes.

These are great for parties because you can just eat them with your fingers. I guarantee they will be gobbled up in no time. I love serving hot appetizers for get-togethers but they have to be easy. I don't want to be stuck in the kitchen instead of visiting with my friends and family. I love appetizers that can be made a couple days ahead and just reheated or ones with very little prep on the day of the event.

Here are a few of my favorite make ahead apps:
