You might associate chicken tenders with fast food—that iconic crispy golden nugget of white meat fried to perfection and primed for a good slathering of ketchup.

And because of that, they’re less susceptible to drying out than breast meat if they’re overcooked. Try these healthy chicken tender recipes for a dinner you'll whole family will enjoy.
