They're lower in fat and carbs, and the marinade keeps them juicy and full of flavor. You could even use a low-fat caesar dressing to reduce the fat content even more. The recipe could also be made with boneless chicken breasts instead of tenders. If you use chicken breast halves, pound them gently to a uniform thickness so they will cook evenly. Alternatively, you could cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch in width. Serve the chicken tenders with hot boiled rice or potatoes and your family's favorite side vegetables. These chicken tenders would make a fabulous topper for a caesar salad, tossed green salad, or a classic greek salad. The chicken tenders make delicious sandwiches as well.
