Oh yum! This is a delicious appetizer and really quite simple. The marinade should be made ahead of time anyway and the chicken strips cook up fast so you can spend time with your guests. If you don’t have chicken breast tenders you can slice chicken breasts thin, lengthwise and it will work just as well.
