    The Restaurant

    Cracker Barrel is one of our favorite family restaurants. Our kids love walking into the country store and browsing all the fun toys, candy and seasonal items available.

    Cracker Barrel is a southern country themed restaurant with homecooked flair.

    Allergy Info

    There are plenty of items available to eat for those with gluten sensitivities. They also offer around ten vegan menu items as well as items that are nut free, egg free, and dairy free.

    Ingredients

    Cracker Barrel chicken tenders contain four ingredients including:

    • Chicken tenders
    • Italian dressing
    • Honey
    • Lime

    FODMAP Friendly?

    While honey is not technically FODMAP friendly, in small amounts many on the FODMAP diet can tolerate honey. Where it's part of a marinade, it would be considered a small amount.

    Cooking

    Chicken tenders can be cooked in a couple of different ways:

    Grill

    Grilling is the most popular method. After marinading, cook tenders on a grill on medium heat or stovetop grill on medium heat for several minutes, then flip the chicken tenders over and continue cooking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and cooked thoroughly.

    Broil

    Heat broiler to high. After marinating, arrange chicken on baking sheet. Place chicken under broiler for several minutes. Flip chicken and cook for several more minutes until chicken is cooked thoroughly and no longer pink in the center.

    Storage

    Cracker Barrel chicken tenders can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.

    Sides

    There are some wonderful sides that can be served with Cracker Barrel chicken tenders including mexican rice, fried apples, or rolls.

    You can also use chicken tenders in a salad for a next day lunch.

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!
