Easy, flavorful, and healthy chicken tenders marinated in a few spices and served with an incredibly delicious white sauce! Use your choice of bread and add whatever toppings you like to make this simple and delicious meal that’s perfect for lazy days or busy nights!
Chicken dinners are so versatile and easy to put together! You can use them to make wraps, serve with a side of sauce, put them in salads, make chicken over rice bowls…however else you like. These chicken tender wraps were especially easy to make since you don’t have to cut the chicken into smaller pieces and cook them as they are. This saves a lot of time during preparation and clean up.
Not only that, the chicken has no wait time for the marinate to sit and is ready in less than 15 minutes from start to finish. This recipe involves cooking them on the stovetop using a pan or skillet. The chicken takes only a few minutes to cook per side and chars beautifully. However, you can bake or air fry them if you prefer and they will still turn out great!
The garlic sauce is the same sauce that was used in my halal cart style chicken and rice! I use it all the time on wraps, burritos, and bowls. It’s definitely a sauce to keep ready and have on rotations! To make it you just need 4 basic pantry ingredients! Yogurt, mayonnaise, black pepper, and minced garlic. I added a bit of lemon juice for a kick of tang but if you’re yogurt has any tanginess to it then skip it!
Whether it’s lunch or dinner, these are perfect for those days when you don’t have a lot of energy and want to quickly put a delicious meal on the table. It even works for meal prep! You can marinate and cook a large batch of chicken and double or triple the white sauce! Then use the chicken to create a variety of different meals throughout the week such as salads, burritos, tacos, rice bowls, and wraps. Add the sauce and any other toppings or sides you enjoy! Truly a simple yet tasty and effortless meal for everyone!
