What Do You Need to Make the Best Chicken Tenderloin Recipes

This was very easy and quick to make on the stove top

Ingredients:

  • Chicken tenderloins
  • Oil
  • Soy sauce
  • Honey
  • Minced garlic
  • Garlic salt
  • Chicken broth
honey soy ingredients

I used chicken tenderloins for this recipe because they are so cute and absolutely delicious in this dish. You can certainly use a different cut of chicken. Honey soy chicken breasts are great, but, I have used thighs too, or some types of fish or pork would be great too. A lean cut of meat would be best for a healthy chicken tenderloins recipe.

You can use soy sauce, teriyaki, or a mixture of both in this recipe; however, I typically do soy only. I have used a combo of half and half before, when I ran out of soy sauce.

How to Make Healthy Stovetop Tenderloins

First, to make honey soy chicken, we need to marinate the chicken. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, if you have the time but try for 8 hours. I usually start marinading in the morning and cook at night. This takes literally 2 minutes to do and adds so much flavor to the chicken.

Poke a couple holes in the chicken, carefully with a fork or knife. Place the chicken in a baggie and add all of the ingredients for marinating the chicken.

Seal it up really tight, move it around to cover all the chicken and place in the fridge until you are ready to cook. The marinating is key as this will make for juicy and flavor packed honey soy chicken tenderloins.

Once ready to cook, heat a medium pan over high heat. Add the entire baggie to the heated pan. You can cook and eat marinade as long as it comes to a boil, according to someone smarter than I am, maybe the CDC? FDA? Anyways.

Add the entire baggie to the pan, sprinkle the chicken with garlic salt and bring to a boil. Flip and move the chicken around the sauce every 30 seconds or so.

Once the pan gets dry, add the chicken broth, one tablespoon at a time. It will deglaze the bottom of the pan so that nothing burns. You can use water as well. Keep flipping and moving around the chicken until it is fully cooked and all the sauce is absorbed.

It should only take 8-10 minutes. Be sure the chicken comes to 165 degrees, I use a meat thermometer. If any are done before the others, remove those so they do not overcook.

I topped mine with green onions, I love green onions.

Pair the Best Chicken Tenderloin Recipes With Dip!

What dip should you pair this with? While it is just absolutely amazing on its own, try this with my yum yum sauce! You can also use the yum yum sauce for some rice. If you prefer not to make your own sauce, try it with my favorite Polynesian sauce or sweet chili sauce, or use these for your rice!

Pair Healthy Chicken With Sides!

I paired this with rice and my crunchy crack broccoli. There is something about a soy sauce chicken and broccoli that melts my soul. I love it! You can also try this with my fried rice side.

What To Do With Chicken Tenderloin Leftovers

Do you have leftovers of the best chicken tenderloins? I bet you ate these all up; however, if you still have leftovers, I have you covered. These tenders make the best meal prep! If you are making this for dinner, try doubling the recipe to make a lunch meal prep all week.

This is a healthy chicken tenderloins recipe, which I think is perfect for lunch. Store these honey soy chicken tenderloins in an air tight container in the fridge, but they should be good for about four days. Honey soy chicken breasts are really good for a more substantial lunch as well.
