Chicken Tenderloins

I LOVE chicken tenderloins. Love them. I buy a couple of bags and they last for a month or so. You can find them in the frozen section of your grocery store. They are cheap too, about $7 a bag, with roughly 20 pieces in a bag.

I find that they are super versatile and they cook up fast. You don't even need to defrost them before you cook them. Plus, they are the perfect portion size for kids.

They are perfect for chicken tenders, which is a family favorite. But there are a bunch of tasty ways you can use these pieces. Here are just a few ways I've used them:

*chicken tenders (of course)
*chicken skewers-I've marinaded them in teriyaki sauce or italian dressing or tossed them in dry ranch dressing mix. Then add your choice of veggies (or pineapple, yum!) and grill or broil. Super easy.
*cooked and cubed and tossed into pastas, stir fry or soups or pot pie
*breaded and fried and used in chicken parmigiana

The possibilities are endless.
