Chicken tenders, the actual cut of chicken and not the breaded kid favorite, are underappreciated and deserve their time in the spotlight. Unlike chicken breasts, their thin, even thickness helps them cook way faster than their thicker counterparts.
Chicken tenders are a great option for the grill—especially when they’re marinated in an easy garlic-lemon-oregano dressing. They cook up in mere minutes and stay moist and juicy—no risk of dry chicken here!
What Are Chicken Tenders?
Chicken tenders, also known as chicken tenderloins, are the little boneless strips of white meat that cling to the underside of a chicken breast. They taste exactly like chicken breast and are sometimes sold separately from the breast. If you can’t find chicken tenders but still want to make this recipe, just slice a boneless, skinless chicken breast lengthwise into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick strips.
