Honey Lemon Chicken Tenders
I timed myself and this whole Honey Lemon Chicken Tenders meal was ready in twenty five minutes. Start to finish. And that included thawing out the frozen chicken tenders in the microwave, sautéing the lemon garlic asparagus in their own skillet and roasting the parmesan crusted potato wedges in the air fryer. A great way to put together a nice meal on a weeknight that is very tasty besides being quick and easy. Here is direct link to the lemon garlic asparagus recipe.

For the chicken
- Olive oil
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 4-6 chicken tenders based on their size – and how hungry you are. Or 2 boneless skinless breasts or thighs.
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
- 2 large cloves garlic – chopped
For the parmesan cheese crusted potato wedges
- 1 large russet potato cut into wedges
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- about 3 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
And here is the how to
Put a skillet on the stove at medium high and eyeball just enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Then the butter. Put the chicken in a bowl and add the lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper and grated cheese. Toss it all together getting the chicken coated with everything.
When the butter has stopped foaming lay the chicken out in the skillet and put the potato wedges into the air fryer. About 3-4 minutes a side for the chicken depending on how thick they are. When you turn the chicken over make a little room for the garlic and let it cook as the chicken finishes up.
It took our air fryer eight minutes at 400° for the potatoes to get crispy. Everything was all done at the same time and we sat down and enjoyed our Honey Lemon Chicken Tenders dinner.
