The chicken tenders are fried to a golden brown and then simmered in wine and lemon slices. The result is juicy, delicious chicken with lots of flavor. This is a surprisingly good meal for busy people, and you can have it on your table in less than a half hour. Stand back for the kudos because your friends and family will think you cooked all day! Enjoy! Photos are my own. Recipe adapted from a store card years ago.

How To Make bonnie's chicken tenders with lemon pan sauce

    Cook's Tip: This meal comes together very fast, so make sure you have everything ready for your meal before you begin making the chicken. If you don't want to use wine, try some chicken broth instead. This chicken is delicious with Noodles Romanoff.

    Heat a large nonstick skillet medium heat. Fry the chicken tenders until a nice golden brown.
