Ingredients
Scale
- 1 to 1 ½ pounds of chicken tenders (6–10 tenders)
- 1 fresh garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (or tamari sauce for gluten free)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt and fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic until fragrant, typically 1-2 minutes.
- Whisk in apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Scoop a quarter of the finished sauce into a bowl and set aside.
- Add chicken tenders in a single layer to the skillet.
- Spoon sauce over chicken while it cooks to make sure it is coated.
- Cook chicken until golden brown before flipping. This ends up being about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the tenders.
- Remove the skillet from the heat once the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- Brush chicken tenders with reserved sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional).
- Serve with your favorite vegetables, in a salad, or over a bowl of brown rice.
