Juicy Flavor...Chicken to Savor
This recipe is for Cracker Barrel's grilled chicken tenders. I have always loved this recipe because the marinade makes the juiciest, most flavorful chicken imaginable. It is perfect served with fresh vegetables for a healthy country-style meal. I also like to use this recipe in pasta dishes that contain grilled chicken or to top a fresh salad. Although it does require a little bit of pre-planning in order to marinade the tenders for an hour, it takes very little effort and only three ingredients (not including the chicken). The original recipe calls for regular Italian dressing but I chose to use the fat-free variety and it turned out exactly the same. Try replacing fried chicken tenders with these to drastically reduce the amount of fat and calories in your lunch or dinner.

I love Cracker barrel chicken tenders. I ate there tonight. I will start making them at home now. I love your blog. Can you give the fiber for this one too? This will fit in well on WW. You are my new super hero!!
I love this chicken too! I use it for every recipe that uses grilled chicken. There is no fiber but I added the weight watchers points. Hope it helps :)
It is a big help. Thank you for the info. I bought chicken breasts last night. I can't wait to use this recipe.
