Our kids and we had them for lunch this afternoon with some potato fries and ketchup. All plates were cleared, making us a very happy and proud mommy.
So these grilled chicken tenders – make them! You should make them especially if you struggle thinking about what to cook. Do you struggle with planning meals? We know we do! Some weeks, we are totally killing it with an outlined meal plan which we diligently follow. On other weeks, we are confused.com.
During our weeks of confusion, we wake up each day thinking, what will we feed our family with today? We get very nervous as mealtime approaches. But with an ingredient like chicken tenderloins, we can make a quick meal in no time.
We had a couple of requests for the recipe video. There is no video today but we will be sharing the video very soon on our YouTube channel.

So What Are Chicken Tenders?
For those who are not familiar, chicken tenders are little strips of meat that are loosely attached to the underside of chicken breasts. So each chicken has two tenders.
They taste exactly like chicken breast meat! Other names for chicken tenders include chicken strips or chicken fingers. They can be battered and deep-fried, used in chicken stir fry, used to make chicken skewers, or, in this case, grilled!
