Well now, if ya ever find yourself in the kitchen, tryin’ to think ’bout what to serve with them chicken tenderloins, let me tell ya, there’s a whole bunch of ways to make it tasty! I reckon chicken tenderloins ain’t too complicated, but ya still wanna give ‘em somethin’ nice to sit beside on the plate, right? Ain’t no need for fancy stuff, just the good ol’ reliable sides that everyone loves. So, here’s a few ideas that’ll make them chicken tenderloins shine!
1. Oven Baked Potato Wedges
Now, I don’t care who ya are, if ya ain’t ever had oven-baked potato wedges with chicken, well then ya ain’t livin’ right. It’s just a simple thing, y’know? Slice them taters up nice and thick, toss ’em in a little oil, salt, and maybe some pepper or garlic powder if ya got it, then throw ’em in the oven. They come out golden and crispy, just like the good ol’ fashioned way we used to make ‘em. They’re crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just perfect with them tenderloins!
2. French Fries
Now, let’s not forget about the classic French fries. Ain’t no goin’ wrong with them, is there? Whether ya fry ’em up or bake ’em in the oven, they’ll always go good with any kind of chicken. You just gotta have some crispy fries beside them tenderloins to make it all complete. Dip ’em in ketchup, ranch, or whatever sauce ya like. Don’t matter none—French fries are always a hit!
3. Coleslaw
If ya want somethin’ crunchy and a little tangy, then a big ol’ bowl of coleslaw will do the trick. Ain’t nothin’ like that refreshing crunch to go with your chicken. You can make it just how ya like it, but I always put in some cabbage, carrots, and a good ol’ dressing—vinegar or mayo, it don’t matter. It adds a nice contrast to the soft chicken, and it’s easy to whip up in no time!
4. Macaroni and Cheese
Well, if you’re feelin’ like treatin’ yourself, then macaroni and cheese is a mighty fine side dish for them tenderloins. Ya just boil up some pasta, make a cheesy sauce, and stir it all together. Creamy and cheesy, it’s the kind of comfort food that goes with just about anything. Plus, kids love it, so ya know it’s a winner!
5. Corn on the Cob
Now, in the summertime, ya can’t go wrong with corn on the cob. Fresh, sweet, and juicy corn—just boil it up or toss it on the grill for that extra smoky flavor. Slather it with butter and maybe a little salt, and you got yourself a real treat. It pairs real nice with chicken tenderloins, especially when the weather’s warm and you’re out on the porch enjoyin’ the evening.
6. Baked Beans
If ya want somethin’ hearty, then baked beans are the way to go. They got that sweet, smoky flavor that just goes so well with chicken. Ya can even buy them in a can if ya ain’t got time to make ’em from scratch, but makin’ ’em from scratch is even better. The sweet and savory combo works wonders with the tender chicken meat.
7. Cornbread
Don’t forget the cornbread, honey. That stuff is just perfect when ya got chicken tenderloins on the plate. Soft, warm, and a little bit sweet, it’ll soak up all the juices from the chicken and make every bite taste even better. Serve it warm with a pat of butter on top—now that’s heaven!
8. Pasta Salad
If you’re wantin’ somethin’ cool and refreshing, why not go with a pasta salad? You just boil up some pasta, add a little mayo or Italian dressing, throw in some veggies like cucumbers or bell peppers, and there ya go! It’s simple, and it goes real well with chicken tenderloins, especially on a hot day when you don’t feel like heatin’ up the kitchen too much.
9. Steamed Vegetables
For a healthier side, ya can’t go wrong with steamed vegetables. Broccoli, carrots, and green beans are all good choices. Just steam ‘em till they’re tender, then season ‘em with a little salt, pepper, and butter. It’s a nice, light side that balances out the richness of the chicken. Plus, it’s good for ya!
10. Grilled Vegetables
If ya got a grill handy, then grilling up some vegetables is another great way to go. Zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms all taste real good when grilled up. They add a smoky flavor that goes mighty fine with those crispy chicken tenderloins. Throw a little olive oil, salt, and pepper on ‘em before ya grill, and you’ll be in for a treat.
Well, there ya have it. A whole mess of side dishes to go with them chicken tenderloins. Ain’t nothin’ too fancy, but they’re all tasty and real easy to make. So, next time ya got some chicken tenders in the kitchen, try one—or two—of these sides, and y’all be eatin’ good, I promise ya that!
