For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and freshly grated lemon zest. Do not overcook the chicken tenders, as they can become dry. Cook just until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). If you don't have fresh thyme, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. However, fresh thyme provides a more vibrant flavor. These chicken tenders are delicious served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple salad. They also make a great addition to wraps or sandwiches.
