Chicken tenderloin is a cut of chicken that is located underneath the chicken breast along the breastbone, and each chicken contains two tenderloins. They are small strips of meat about two inches wide and six inches long, and are thinner than chicken breasts, so they tend to cook more quickly. Chicken tenderloins are naturally more tender than chicken breasts, and have a softer texture with a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth quality when cooked. They are ideal for stir-frying, breading and pan-frying, and grilling. Chicken tenderloins are white meat and besides being smaller than the breast, taste exactly the same as breast meat and are tender and moist when cooked properly. Sometimes chicken tenders can be separately sold from the breasts, making them great candidates for stir-fries and skewers, where the chicken meat needs to be cut up anyway.
