It doesn't get easier than this healthy chicken tenderloins recipe. Tamari, honey and garlic combine to create a sticky-sweet sauce that coats the chicken. Serve these chicken tenders over brown rice with a side of broccoli, or use to top a salad or grain bowl.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloins (about 4 tenderloins)
2 tablespoon low-sodium tamari or lower-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 large clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon canola oil or other neutral oil
Thinly sliced scallions for garnish (Optional)

Directions

Stir cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper together in a medium bowl. Add chicken tenders; toss until coated. Stir tamari (or soy sauce), honey, garlic, chile-garlic sauce and vinegar together in a small bowl; set aside.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken; cook, flipping once, until the chicken is browned and crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 165°F, 10 to 12 minutes.
Add the sauce to the pan, turning the chicken to coat; cook over medium-low heat until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove the chicken from the pan; drizzle with any remaining sauce. Garnish with scallions, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
