Number Of Ingredients 4

4 to 5 chicken breasts, cut into pieces or 12 chicken tenderloins
1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian dressing, about 1 cup
2 teaspoons fresh or bottled lime juice
4 teaspoons honey

Steps:

  • Cut each chicken breast into strips or use tenderloins pieces. If using tenderloins cut and remove the white tendon off each end. In a bowl that has a cover or large Ziploc bag add the dressing, lime juice and honey; mix to combine. Add the chicken and mix to coat all the pieces. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Remove chicken from the refrigerator and add to a larger skillet (marinade and chicken). Braise the tenders in a non-stick pan until golden brown in color, but not dry. Start the stove temperature at medium high to get things going. After it comes to a boil reduce the heat to low-medium and continue cooking. You just want them to simmer until all the liquid has cooked down. You still want a bit of glaze left in the pan. When chicken is done remove and serve. Cooking time: 40-45 minutes

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h10m

Yield 8-10 chicken strips, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb chicken breast, cut into strips
1/2 cup Italian dressing
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1/4 cup soy sauce

Steps:

  • Mix together dressing, lime juice, honey, and soy sauce and place in a ziplock bag.
  • Add chicken strips and let marinate a few hours or overnigh in the refrigerator. (I always let it set overnight).
  • Heat an inside grill such as a george foreman grill or heat a skillet on the stovetop and braise chicken strips until golden brown.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the chicken tenderloins before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Marinate the chicken tenderloins in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help them stay moist and juicy.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the chicken tenderloins. This will help them get a nice sear on the outside while cooking through on the inside.
  • Cook the chicken tenderloins for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. You can check the internal temperature of the chicken tenderloins with a meat thermometer to make sure they are cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken tenderloins rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them retain their juices and prevent them from drying out.
