Scale
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins
- 1/2 cup Italian dressing
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing, lime juice, and honey until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place the tenderloins in the skillet. Discard the remaining marinade. Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tenderloins are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and serve immediately.
Notes
- For added flavor, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
- This recipe pairs well with sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
