This is a little different take on garlic chicken, but it is really good. I don’t very often use sun-dried tomatoes as an ingredient but the tangy flavor of sun-dried tomatoes make this dish a step above the rest. There are quite a few ingredients in this recipe so it’s a good idea to have it all together before you start cooking. The original recipe called for a boneless skinless chicken breast, but I decided to substitute chicken tenders instead.
