Inspiration: Cracker Barrel
Cracker Barrel's chicken tenderloins are one of my favorite items on their menu. There are many copycat recipes online. The ingredients usually include store bought Italian dressing, lime juice and honey. I wanted to clean the recipe up a little bit and make it more 21 Day Fix approved so I made my own Italian dressing.
