I had 3 raw frozen chicken tenders, leftover from a meal that I prepared this week. The question was, what can I make with only 3 chicken tenders. Easy. I opened my pantry and saw orzo, spices, broth and seasonings. Then opened my fridge and saw fresh asparagus, garlic and Baby Bella mushrooms. The end result was delicious, a creamy yummy risotto texture-like 1-pot comfort dish, and I even had leftovers, smile! I got this.
