You can use these flavor-packed chicken tenders as a standalone entrée with some vegetable sides, chop them and toss onto a grain bowl or a bed of baked spaghetti squash, or tuck them into a sandwich wrap. The zesty lemon flavor comes through clearly, and the toasted garlic gives the chicken a super-savory backbone.
