If you have ever eaten a grilled chicken salad from the country restaurant chain Cracker Barrel, you know first hand how good the chicken tenders are that they serve up daily. I recently saw a recipe floating around that claimed to be an exact match for the Cracker Barrel’s chicken tenders recipe so I had to give it a try. To my surprise, the chicken tenders were delicious and they had that same great Cracker Barrel taste. Since finding the recipe, I have changed a few things up to make it lighter without sacrificing the taste. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders or 3 large chicken breasts cut into strips
- 1/2 cup light Italian dressing
