I love how this recipe turned out and that it only uses a handful of ingredients from your pantry! What I am super excited about is that my Sweet Lime Sauce is actually sugar free!! Also, what I find is that encrusted items don’t always heat up nicely for leftovers the next day but this recipe did!!
I fancied the thought of a honey dressing to go with these {un} buttery coconut chicken tenders but after researching other recipes I knew I would NOT have the self control to just drizzle a little! I am one of those they ask, do you want some burger to go with that ketchup? Yes, that is so me.
With the looming sugar high from all of that honey I was about to pour on my tenders, I decided stevia was a healthier way for this girl! I was pleasantly surprised how great it worked in the lime sauce!
I literally dunked my chicken tender into the sauce and didn’t have to fret one bit over a sugar-high! So drizzle, dip, dunk, pour or drink {I would do that} whatever your style is and enjoy!! This dinner will bring in the flavors of summer and the freedom to be in and out of the kitchen pronto!
