Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins
- 1/4 cup Italian dressing
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the tenderloins in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

- Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve these tenderloins with steamed veggies, a fresh salad, or over a bed of rice. They’re also delicious sliced up for wraps or salads the next day.
