Ingredients
1 cup Italian dressing
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
3 tablespoons honey
1½ pounds boneless chicken tenders
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken tenders into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
Preheat the Grill: Set your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and allow it to preheat.
Grill the Chicken: Take the chicken out of the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill each piece for about 5–7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Rest and Serve: Once grilled, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute for maximum tenderness and flavor.
Notes
You can substitute chicken breasts or thighs.
Orange juice works if pineapple juice is unavailable.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
