Chicken tenders are so versatile! Buffalo them, Parmesan them, make them crispy, sauté them, bake, grill… the list goes on and on.
Tonight, it was rather simple – a dash of Oregano, salt & pepper, lemon juice and zest, and red pepper flakes. I finished with a sprinkling of feta cheese and served over grilled asparagus.
