Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken tenderloins
- 1 cup Italian dressing
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing, honey, and lime juice until well combined to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the chicken tenderloins to a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly, ensuring all the chicken is coated in the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
When ready to cook, preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 5
Remove the chicken tenderloins from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the chicken tenderloins onto the hot grill pan or skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are no longer pink in the center and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the tenderloins hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a side salad.
