Take One...Pound of Chicken T... Health Article

Nature seems to have had the casual cook in mind when designing the chicken tender. This thin strip of all-white rib meat (actually part of the breast) is just the right size and shape to thread onto a skewer for a quick satay or to hoist and dip as an Almond-Crusted Chicken Finger. It's poultry that requires a minimum of handling and prep and is sure to please, however you fix it.

Chicken tenders have a small, white tendon running along the length that disappears when cooked. It isn't necessary to remove it, but if you prefer to, grasp the exposed tendon end between your thumb and a paring knife. While holding the chicken firmly with the other hand, pull the tendon from the meat in one swift move.
