Lemon Chicken
Lemon chicken is a flavorful dish found in various global cuisines, typically made with chicken that's marinated or cooked with lemon juice, zest, and often garlic, herbs, and a bit of sweetness or butter for balance. The lemon not only gives it a bright, tangy flavor but also tenderizes the chicken.

Chicken Tenders
Chicken tenders are boneless, skinless pieces of chicken that come from the tenderloin part of the chicken breast, which is naturally the most tender section of the bird. These pieces are typically breaded or battered and then deep-fried, although they can also be baked or grilled for a healthier version.
Fun fact: The chicken tender is a favorite of both kids and adults, and it’s so beloved that National Chicken Tender Day is celebrated every year on July 27th in the U.S.
