Marinated Grilled Chicken Tenders Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

These easy chicken tenders are marinated in caesar salad dressing, and then they're grilled or broiled to perfection. Use a charcoal or gas grill or a tabletop indoor grill or stovetop grill pan. The chicken can also be broiled in the oven. The chicken tenders are flavored nicely with a caesar dressing marinade and some simple seasonings. See the tips for a quick and easy homemade caesar dressing substitute. Chicken tenders are usually breaded and fried or baked, but this version is much lighter. They're lower in fat and carbs, and the marinade keeps them juicy and full of flavor. You could even use a low-fat caesar dressing to reduce the fat content even more. The recipe could also be made with boneless chicken breasts instead of tenders. If you use chicken breast halves, pound them gently to a uniform thickness so they will cook evenly. Alternatively, you could cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch in width. Serve the chicken tenders with hot boiled rice or potatoes and your family's favorite side vegetables. These chicken tenders would make a fabulous topper for a caesar salad, tossed green salad, or a classic greek salad. The chicken tenders make delicious sandwiches as well.
