Recently bought a giant pack of chicken tenders from Sam's. Anybody have healthy recipe or way to cook them? I usually just grill on the skillet but that is getting kind of old. I do like Crock Pot recipes.

Find a salsa that you really like, cook in Crock Pot.

I like a verde salsa.

Eat as-is, over rice as burrito bowl, in tacos, etc.

Not sure if you are watching sodium intake, but grilled with Greek seasoning and olive oil is tasty.

Yep crock pot with salsa or same in instant pot is good.

Air fryer is pretty good.

I like to personally do sheet pan fajitas or sheet pan kabobs. I put the veggies on top the chicken when doing the fajitas or pineapple on top of doing the kabobs.

Also jerk chicken, chicken on a stick are good. Sheet pan, drizzled with olive oil with veggies and potatoes is also awesome.

The key is to not overcook and pull when it reaches temp or to put something on that will keep it moist.

Marinate them for an hour or 2 in a few tbsp of olive oil with salt, pepper, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and a splash of lemon juice.

Saute a yellow onion and a bellpepper or 2, add chicken.

Eat as a fajita or with brown rice. Quick and easy, we prob eat this dish once a week or so.

Never thought of doing the kabobs. How long do you usually do in the oven? And what temp?

350, and I use a meat thermometer. When it reaches 155-160, I pull them and wrap and let sit until it gets to 165.

Yeah, it’s crazy good. My go to ballgame nosh is three chicken breasts in a crockpot with one jar of salsa verde, one small can of tomato sauce, and about ten good shakes of Louisiana Hot Sauce or some Valentina. Pull the chicken and shred it after 4 hours on high and eat it with Joseph’s pita like a dirtbag chalupa or make a burrito bowl.

Agree with some of the above. I cook in either the InstantPot or crock pot with olive oil and seasonings and sometimes throw in some salsa. I buy the tenderloins at Costco.

We baste them in egg whites and coat in almond flour with seasonings and bake them.

I have no complaints.

Make sure you’ve accumulated enough good boy points (GBP) first! I’m not making that mistake again soon.
