Cracker Barrel Inspired Grilled Chicken Tenders

I love, love, love Cracker Barrel's chicken tenders! So when I came across this recipe on Pinterest I just HAD to try it. I can't believe how easy this was and how tasty! My son asked, "When are you gonna make this again?!?!" after just the first bite. With that reaction I knew I had to share! Enjoy!


Cracker Barrel Grilled Chicken Tenderloin Recipe

Prep time: 4 hours

Cook time: 15 mins

Total time: 4 hours 15 mins

A delicious honey glazed chicken tenderloin.

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless chicken breast tenders
• 1/2 cup Zesty Italian dressing
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

1. Mix dressing, lime juice and honey in a large resealable bag or container.
2. Add the chicken. Marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator.
3. In a large non-stick skillet over med/high heat, add the entire mixture with chicken to the pan.
4. Braise chicken on all sides until golden but not dry.(I do this until most of the liquid has evaporated out which is why mine have a dark color)

Here is a tip from Nichol who posted this recipe:
Tip: I have tried the recipe until they are golden and a little longer like I am showing you. I feel that the darker pieces are more tastier than just a piece of “golden” chicken. The dressing sticks onto the chicken which gives it the color and much more flavor as it caramelizes.
