Notes
If you don't have chicken tenders, you can slice some boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips (about ¾ inch thick).
You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs as well, the strips will probably just be a little shorter.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve some flour in water and then slowly add a little at a time to the liquid in the pan while cooking, until it reaches the desired thickness.
