Chicken Tenders {Homemade Recipe}

Have you ever tried homemade chicken tenders? It’s such an easy and quick recipe to prepare that once you’ve tried it, you won’t be able to do without it. It’s a recipe that I make from time to time on Wednesday afternoons with my darlings and they love it. As they go to school in the morning, I prepare them before picking them up, and I cook them for a minute when we get home because they often can’t wait because they are starving. I imagine that some people must see what I’m talking about… 😉 Well, it must be said that for this Wednesday, no problem, I had time since we were all at home… but they enjoyed preparing them with me and watching how I did.

I can’t believe I haven’t shared this homemade nuggets recipe yet! Well actually, at the very beginning of the blog, I shared a similar one but in the oven version. I must say that since then I have been able to do several tests and I prefer cooking in a pan because the chicken is much more tender. On the other hand, in this old version, you will find a recipe for maroilles sauce which I still love so much. Moreover, after the recipe, at the end of the article, I will give you some sauce ideas to accompany these homemade chicken nuggets…

For the accompaniments of these chicken nuggets, it’s as you like and to adapt according to the season: polenta fries, green beans, mashed potatoes, etc.
Come on, now for the recipe!

• 3 chicken fillets (about 380 g)

• Take the meat out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking so that it is at room temperature.
