Fried chicken tenders may be delicious, but these Pecan Crusted Honey Mustard Chicken Tenders are next level! The bonus is that they have zero refined starch, are baked (not fried!) and are full of protein, healthy fat, and even some fiber. And while they are totally kid-friendly, they’d be a crowd pleaser at any adult dinner party!

Braised chicken is such an underrated comfort food, and this dish is the perfect way to incorporate it into your winter dinner repertoire when you’re looking for something cozy to make. And while you’re more likely to make this during the colder months, it is still light enough to make in the spring and summer if you’re craving some tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken.
