Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 lbs chicken tenders
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup chunky peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce (yes, again)
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons peanuts, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, olive oil, salt & pepper, then add chicken tenders, cover & refrigerate for 1 hour.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, peanut butter, the last 2 tablespoons of soy sauce & the teriyaki sauce.
Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes or until it is smoking.
Remove chicken from marinade & discard the marinade. Cook the tenders, turning once, for about 6 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Garnish sauce with the chopped peanuts, if desired, & serve with the tenders.

Tips:

When choosing chicken tenders, look for ones that are evenly sized and have a light pink color.
To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken tenders in the flour mixture and egg wash.
If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes.
To make the peanut butter sauce, use a smooth peanut butter for a creamier sauce.
If you like a spicy sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
