From one mom to another tips and tricks-
Serve with a tossed salad and/or Trader's Joe's Sweet Potato fries! I normally pop the sweet potato fries in the air fryer while I am frying my chicken tenders. On really busy nights, I use a bagged salad if I don't have time to make a fresh one. And that's ok!
