Categories     Meat and Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Tenders Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds chicken tenders
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
5 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
½ cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken stock
½ cup half-and-half
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken tenders in flour mixture until coated.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
  • Pour wine into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add chicken stock and cook until sauce has reduced, about 10 minutes. Add half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice; let reduce for 10 more minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the chicken until the juices run clear. To check, insert a knife into the thickest part of the chicken. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
  • Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • If you want the chicken to be extra crispy, double-coat it in the breading. Just be sure to shake off any excess breading before frying.
  • Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include honey mustard, barbecue sauce, and ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Asian chicken tenders with zesty lemon sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic, then coated in a crispy breading and fried until golden brown. The zesty lemon sauce is the perfect complement to the chicken, adding a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
