Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup flour GF if needed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 4 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 2-3 green onions chopped

Instructions

  • Season the chicken tenderloins with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then dredge each into the flour to evenly coat.
  • Heat half of the oil in a large skillet and cook half of the chicken tenders until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
  • To the same preheated pan, add the lime juice and scrape the brown bits from the bottom. Add in the garlic, honey, and coconut aminos, and stir until combined into a sauce.
  • Return the chicken tenders into the sauce and spoon it over, while still on the heat, and rewarm. Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onions.

Notes

  • Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Reheating: For best results, reheat on the stovetop or in the oven at 350ºF until it’s warmed through. You can also microwave individual servings in 30 second increments.
