Chicken tenderloins are the narrow, strip-like muscles located just beneath the chicken breast. They are naturally tender, lean, and boneless, making them ideal for quick-cooking methods like grilling, pan-frying, or baking. With a mild flavor and soft texture, chicken tenderloins readily absorb marinades and seasonings, making them a versatile choice for a wide variety of dishes, from salads and sandwiches to stir-fries and skewers. They're especially popular for making chicken tenders and kid-friendly meals.
