Herbed Chicken Tenders
"This is such a light, easy, yet flavorful way to cook chicken! I couldn't believe it when my kids actually fought over "who got more".....There were no leftovers when I made this, and I actually used this as the meat in a wonderful fettuccine Alfredo! Just delicious!"

Thought I had all the ingredients at home but was wrong had no tenders, so used whole breasts and unfortunately had no rosemary so used mixed herbs instead. Also added more garlic powder - I can't get enough garlic. It was FABULOUS and SO quick & easy - even DH really enjoyed it. I cooked a couple of extra breasts to slice up for sandwiches the next day which I can't wait to try. This will now be a regular at our house. Thanks Stacky5 -
These were fantastic! Didn't skimp on the lemon and loved the flavor. We used them on a mixed green salad and put leftovers on pasta. Will make often. Thanks!

This was very good and easy to make. We omitted the lemon juice and added a little more thyme. It was yummy!! I will certainly make this again. -
Really good and really easy - had them along side a pasta dish and they were perfect! I definitely will be making these again. Thanks!

Very good! Next time I will marinate the chicken overnight minus the lemon juice. Just to have the flavor of the spices permeate the chicken. Thanks again for the recipe.

Hi! My name is Stacy, and I'm a single Mom who works full-time with 4 kids ranging from ages 9 to 21, a brand new granddaughter named Faith, and a cat named Pubert (we call him Pube) who is also my kid... That's his photo as my icon. Oh, and a new kitten that the kids named "KeeKee" but who I call Little Kitteh. I love them with all my heart! Even though I don't have my parents anymore, their presence is always felt and their love has resonated in my life, even after all this time. You'll find a lot of my posted recipes that refer to "Jolean" --- and that's my Mom. :) I sure do miss her...
I love music, especially 70's music, cats, incense & lavalights, candles, and I love to play guitar. I've been called an old "hippie chick," and I don't mind that label in the least. I also love to try other people's recipes and find ones that remind me of my Mother, and those precious memories that I had growing up in a household with such a wonderfully comforting cook...I work full-time in a real estate office as an office administrator.
I came to this site looking for recipes that were tried and true. I stayed at this site because I found people who were kind, loving, caring and shared the same interest that I do --- food and cooking. I've saved a lifetime of recipes and learned so much about cooking and ingredients that I actually feel proud of my cooking. I bet my Mom looks down on me with pride every time I cook a new recipe from RecipeZaar, and I bet my Dad cracks up every time he sees me photographing what I've cooked! My daughters have actually gotten into the act, too, and are quite versed in searching for recipes and answers here on Zaar. Makes me proud to be their Mom.
RecipeZaar isn't just a "website." It's a lifestyle. And some of the friends I've made here are LIFELONG friends to me --- and in my estimation, those types of people are a rare thing to find in this world. :)
P.S. Pube says, "Hello everybody!" ;)
