These Chicken Tenders with Candy Sauce are a quick dinner idea or an easy snack that kids will love.  I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser.

Chicken Tenders with Candy Sauce

On Valentine’s Day, I prefer to stay home with my two favorite guys (the hubs and my son) and have a nice, quiet night at home.  It’s even better if there aren’t any sports practices, games or other activities that we have to race off to!

I usually like to make everyone’s favorite dishes for Valentine’s Day.  Food is one way that I can show my guys how much I love them.   For my husband, it will probably be Pasta Mignon — filet mignon served over pasta with a mushroom-sherry cream sauce.  For my son, it will be chicken tenders.

This year, I thought I would amp up his plain chicken tenders and use the Tyson Original Batter Dipped Tenders and make one of my favorite dipping sauces — Candy Sauce!

Chicken TEnders with Candy Sauce 2 FINAL

These chicken tenders are super easy to prepare.  Plus, they’re small and totally dippable. I purchased the at my local Wal-Mart in the freezer section.  There’s even a coupon for them in February 9th’s Sunday paper.  Make sure you grab one!

Chicken TEnders and Candy Sauce 6 FINAL

The Candy Sauce is my favorite part of this dish.  It’s an unusual combination of ingredients that tastes fantastic together.  It’s also very versatile.  I used it on my Pulled Pork Tacos with Sriracha Slaw and on some broiled fish that we had the other night.

It’s easy to make too.  Just put all of the ingredients in a food processor and give them a whirl until the sauce is smooth.  That’s it.  It really doesn’t get any easier!

I’m planning to serve the chicken tenders and candy sauce with Easy Parmesan Orzo and steamed broccoli (his favorite!).  I think my little guy is going to love this dinner!
