These chicken tenders were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought cilantro pesto sauce, but I'm sure it would be even better if I made my own.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of cilantro pesto sauce and used it to marinate the chicken overnight. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy!

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken tenders came out perfectly. The cilantro pesto sauce was delicious, but a little too salty for my taste. Next time I'll use less salt.
