Chicken Tender

A chicken tender is the small strip of white meat (tenderloin) from the underside of the chicken breast, commonly prepared breaded and fried but also baked or grilled. It’s often served as finger food with dipping sauces, in sandwiches or salads, and people track it to record portion size and nutrient differences by preparation method (e.g., breaded/fried vs. grilled) and to note macronutrients, sodium, and potential allergens like gluten.
