Herb Baked Chicken Tenders
Hi Everyone, I made this Herb Baked Chicken Tenders recipe when my parents were visiting over the Summer and it made for a delicious dinner.
These Herb Baked Chicken Tenders could also be cut up and put over a salad or used in a wrap.
I have found that chicken is a pretty plain meat and it needs the right seasoning or marinade to make it shine.
This blend of herbs utilizes dried Winter Savory, fresh Italian parsley, Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper medley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and that’s it! It’s a very simple marinade and gluten-free.
If you do not have or can not find Winter Savory, just use the same amount of Thyme instead, it’s very similar.
I picked some fresh from my father-in-law’s garden, dried and jarred it to use over this Fall and Winter.
It goes great with meats and in soups and stews. It has a lovely depth of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1-1.5 pounds chicken tenders, get the freshest chicken, I usually get organic or at least hormone-free, vegetarian-fed chicken
- 5-9 sprigs dried (or fresh) Winter Savory herb, useless if fresh
- 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, washed, chopped, plus more for serving
- 1/4-1/2 cup olive oil, the more oil you use, the more juice you will have for serving
- 1-2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar, I use the best quality I can find and afford, from Modena, Italy
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, or amount to taste
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper medley, or amount to taste
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
This is how this Herb Baked Chicken Tenders looks like before it goes into the oven to be baked.

Herb Baked Chicken Tenders
Herb Baked Chicken Tenders are a perfect weeknight dinner main dish. This recipe uses fresh garden herbs to make chicken tenders taste flavorful and delicious. (gluten-free)
Ingredients
- 1-1.5 pounds chicken tenders, get the freshest chicken, I usually get organic or at least hormone-free, vegetarian fed chicken
- 5-9 sprigs dried (or fresh) Winter Savory herb, use less if fresh
- 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, washed, chopped, plus more for serving
- 1/4-1/2 cup olive oil, the more oil you use, the more juice you will have for serving
- 1-2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar, I use the best quality I can find and afford, from Modena, Italy
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, or amount to taste
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper medley, or amount to taste
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
Instructions
- In a baking dish mix all the marinade ingredients and coat the chicken tenders in it. Marinade chicken for at least a half-hour before cooking; you can also marinate for a few hours or overnight. The chicken tenders will only taste better the longer it is marinated.
- When the chicken tenders are done marinating, bake in a 425 degree F oven for 15-20 minutes. You can turn once halfway through (although I never bother to). Allow cooling 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
The safest way to check for doneness is by using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature of the chicken should be 165° Fahrenheit (75° Celsius).
