Low fat mayo can may be used. Report Abuse

This is an easy way:





Take boneless-skinless chicken breasts, cut them into strips. Press the pieces into Italian bread crumbs, place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 till done (usually about 20 minutes).





If you like spicy, you can add cayenne to the crumbs, and you can experiment with different spices as well.





No grease, SUPER easy and very healthy as well!
These chicken tenders are seasoned, then breaded and oven-fried.


INGREDIENTS:


1 pound chicken tenders


Greek or Mediterranean seasoning or other seasoning blend


1/4 cup white wine


2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard


Italian seasoned bread crumbs


PREPARATION:


Sprinkle chicken tenders lightly with Greek seasoning. Prepare a cookie sheet with foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Mix coating of wine and mustard and dip chicken pieces. Roll in bread crumbs.

Summer Lime Chicken Tenders





2 pkgs. boneless, skinless chicken tenders


1/3 c. olive oil


Juice of 3 limes


4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced


3 tbsp. fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped


1/2 tsp. salt


1/2 tsp. pepper, freshly ground





Trim fat from tenders. Pound between waxed paper to flatten. Combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour over chicken and marinate 4-8 hours. Grill or broil the chicken tenders for 2 minutes on each side.
My new favorite way to cook is with a grill pan. It's like a frying pan with ridges. Coat the pan with pan spray. Lay the chicken tenders across the ridges. Cook on both sides. Notices the lines as if you grilled them outside. Cover one side with low or lite ranch dressing (I prefer Hidden Ranch it still maintains its flavor) to coat, turn over and coat other side. Gets brown on both sides. UMMM Good and Health. Serve with baby carrots and celery. The kids with love it.

Preheat the oven. Cut boneless skinless chicken breasts into strips (you may also buy the tenders). Place flour into a bowl and the wing sauce in a seperate bowl. First dredge the chicken tenders in the flour, then dip in the wing sauce and place the tenders on a baking pan/dish. Bake until the chicken is cooked through (approx. 15 minutes). Enjoy the chicken tenders with your favorite light ranch/blue cheese dressing.
