Since the kids have been young, they have loved chicken tenders, but anything you can find in a packet, they know I’ll try to make it better. So recently I wanted to try making something fun and delicious for the kids. And these honey garlic chicken tenders were a huge hit with the whole family. I served it with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
