Instructions

1. Make marinade – In a small bowl combine the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic parsley, garlic powder, oregano, salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
2. Marinade chicken tenders – Place the chicken tenders in a bowl and pat dry with paper towels. Pour over half of the marinade and combine well. Cover and place in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
3. Heat remaining marinade – Place a small saucepan on stove over medium heat and add the other half of the marinade. Heat the marinade and bring to a simmer for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Cook chicken – Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the butter until it sizzles. Reduce heat to medium and add the chicken tenders. Cook for about 4 minutes and flip over the chicken tenders. Cook for a further 3 – 4 minutes until fully cooked.
5. Serve – Remove chicken from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Pour over hot marinade and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• Watch cooking time – These cooked perfectly for me in about 10 minutes. Yours may cook a little quicker or take a little longer. Depending on your stove, pan and the thickness of your chicken tenders.
• Cooking chicken on the stove top – It’s best to cook the tenders in a heavy bottomed skillet. Heavy bottomed skillets cook food evenly and they have even heating. Some thinner skillets and pans heat up too quickly and then food will burn or stick.
• Allow chicken to rest – It’s best to allow chicken to rest about 5 minutes after removing it from the heat. This will ensure the juices stay inside the and chicken will be more tender and juicer.

Substitutions

• Chicken tenders – I used pretty small sized chicken tenders for this recipe. You could use whole chicken breast. You could cut the chicken in small pieces and put it on skewer sticks. Even drumsticks, thighs or wings would work. Keep in mind cooking time will vary with the type of chicken you are using..
• Can be cooked under a broiler in the oven – Place the chicken tenders on a baking sheet and place directly under the broiler in the oven. Cook them for about 10 minutes per side or until cooked through.

Serving

• Potatoes – You can’t go wrong with the Crispy Roasted Potatoes, the Crispy Oven Roasted Parmesan Baby Potatoes or the Crispy Garlic Potatoes with a Creamy Chive Dip.
• Salads – These chicken tenders would go great just served with a fresh salad on the side. You could try the Spinach Arugula Strawberry Salad, the Black Bean Cucumber Feta Salad or a basic Rice Salad Recipe.
