How to Make Apple and Honey-Glazed Chicken Tenders
Apple and Honey-Glazed Chicken Tenders are a sweet and savory dish featuring crispy chicken coated in a glaze made from fresh apples and honey. The balance of sweetness and tang, enhanced with apple cider vinegar and spices, makes it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
Ingredients
- ½ cup apple jelly
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Mix apple jelly, honey, mustard, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Brush chicken breasts with glaze.Place glazed chicken breasts on the preheated grill; cook, occasionally brushing chicken with more glaze, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Notes
- Adjust the glaze with cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep the chicken crispy.
- Serve with roasted veggies or a fresh salad.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat to maintain crispiness.
