Ingredients
→ Main Ingredients
1 pound chicken tenderloins
→ Marinade
1/2 cup Italian dressing
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Make the Marinade:
In a large bowl, whisk together Italian dressing, garlic, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Marinate Chicken:
Add chicken tenderloins to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
Preheat Air Fryer:
Set air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the basket with olive oil spray.
Cook Chicken:
Place marinated tenderloins in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest and Serve:
Let chicken rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Marinating for a full hour enhances flavor.
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for even cooking.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated easily.
