Calories 455kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast tenders or full breasts cut into tenders
Instructions
- Combine 1/4 cup avocado oil, honey, yellow mustard, coconut aminos, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl
- If desired, remove tendon from chicken tenders using a paring knife or fork.
- Add chicken tenders to the bowl and toss to coat them
- Cover the bowl and marinate in the fridge for at least two hours
- Heat a large pan (I use a cast iron skillet) over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of oil to the pan
- When the oil is warm add the marinated tenders to the pan
- Cook the chicken tenders over medium for 8 minutes flipping every 2 minutes
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days
Notes
- You can use chicken breasts and slice them into tenders.
- This marinade also works with chicken thighs.
- Dijon or whole grain mustard work as substitutes for yellow mustard.
- Marinate your chicken for four hours or even overnight for best results.
- Pat the chicken dry before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the chicken.
