Cracker Barrel Chicken Tenders

This easy chicken recipe comes from my friend Jenni. I've had this recipe bookmarked for a long time and only regret that I didn't try it earlier! My picture is not incredibly appetizing, but the chicken is moist, flavorful, and tastes like it's barbecued.

2 lbs chicken tenders, or chicken breasts cut into strips
1 cup bottled Italian Dressing
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons honey

Combine the dressing, lemon juice, and honey. Place chicken tenders in a gallon size ziplock and pour dressing mixture in. Seal and let marinate in the fridge for 1 hour. Pour chicken and marinade into a large non-stick skillet and cook over med-high heat. The tenders will cook through and the liquid will mostly evaporate leaving a browned glaze on the cooked tenders (the picture below is of the tenders cooking before the glaze forms). Turn the tenders to let them get browned on both sides. Be careful not to let it burn as the sugars in the marinade can go from a nice glaze to burnt rather quickly. Remove from heat and serve.
