It's just 'dipping'...like if you were making fried chicken, you'd 'dredge/cover' it in flour.
The official definition from the Food Lover's Companion is:
"Dredge: to lightly coat food to be fried, as with flour, cornmeal or breadcrumbs. This coating helps brown the food. Chicken, for example, might be "dredged" with flour before frying."
You got it! the infamous term dredging with flour means to coat whatever you are cooking completely with flour or another mixture. So you can dredge chicken completely in flour or dredge it with shake and bake if you wish. Good luck
