CRACKER BARREL CHICKEN TENDERS
When we go to a Cracker Barrel restaurant, this is one of our "go to" choices because these chicken tenders are unique in that they are not breaded and always have a great tangy flavor and they are juicy and delicious. Olivia has this recipe that is loaded with sweet citrus flavor that can really hit the spot. Marinating it ahead of time makes this an easy weeknight meal that is sure to satisfy. If you make enough, they are also really good the next day for lunch either in a sandwich or on a nice crisp, green salad. If you try them, we are pretty sure you will like them!
