Is there a difference between chicken tenders and chicken breasts, or is it all the same?

Hi, everyone! I'm a bit puzzled and hoping you can help me out. Is there actually a difference between chicken tenders and chicken breasts, or are we just talking about the same thing with different names? I'm all ears for a mini poultry lesson! Thanks in advance for clearing this up!

Hey there! Chicken tenders are actually a part of the chicken breast, specifically the small strip of meat that's attached to the underside of the breast. Thanks for the question!

Chicken tenders are smaller strips from the underside of the breast, while chicken breasts are larger cuts from the whole breast. Both tasty, just different sizes!

Hi Chicken fingers are made from the inner fillet of the chicken breast, while chicken tenders come from the minor muscles located beneath the breast.
