I just tried this for the first time and it was amazing! I did use Kraft zesty Italian because it was what I had on hand and I think I can help with the issues some have had using this brand. I just cooked the chicken until it was done and removed it from the pan. Then I cooked the dressing down in the pan and when it had started to brown up and thicken I added the chicken back in to glaze it. That way the chicken won’t dry out.

I made this last week and it turned out really well. I would recommend doubling the marinade because there did not seem to be enough to glaze the chicken after it cooked down. It was still delicious and I will make it again.

I’m going to have to try this.

My guess is that the cheaper brands have more sugar in them, and therefore caramelize better. Also, I think I’m going to just try mixing in the zip lock bag instead of in a bowl or mason jar. Since the marinade is just going to go in there anyway, it might save a step, and then you would not have to wash the jar or bowl.

These are absolutely fantastic but I highly recommend the cheap brand of italian dressing otherwise your sauce won’t caramelize like Christy’s does ! I know I tried it with Kraft and it didn’t work out well but was edible but then I chose to use a 88 cent bottle and it was perfect )

[...] Cracker Barrel’s Chicken Tenders – I think this was the overall winner for April. I may never have to set foot in a Cracker Barrel again now that I’ve found the recipe for my favorite menu item. Not only is the chicken marinated in Italian dressing, it’s cooked until the dressing caramelizes into complete and total deliciousness. The chicken is great served atop salad or pasta, with rice or veggies, or any other way you can imagine it. [...]

I asked someone who worked at Cracker Barrel, and they told me they marinate the chicken in Thousand Island Dressing over night, then grill.

I tried the recipe twice with the Kraft dressing, in two different pans, and both times the sauce would not cook down. The sauce just burned at the bottom of the pan and never caramelized. I’m not sure if anyone else has had this issue with Kraft, but I thought I would just make a comment in case someone else has problems making the recipe.

I normally make this with the Wishbone brand Italian dressing, but I tried it with a bottle of Kraft dressing because it was on sale. I have never had an issue with the Wishbone.
