I would love to say that my kids eat what my husband and I eat, but that is rarely ever true. I know, sad, right?

My daughter will eat just about anything we eat, which is a welcome surprise because my son is entirely the opposite. He is extremely picky with the foods that he will eat and has maybe a dozen that I know he will eat.

I have tried many things to get him to eat all the different foods that we eat; however, it is just not worth the fight. I can easily make his dinner using the foods I know he will eat and not have to dread dinnertime. I know some would frown upon this, but he is to the point he will literally gag himself if he has to touch a food he does not want to eat. For me…it’s a battle not worth fighting.

I know even as an adult, there are some foods I really do not like and would hate to be forced to eat them.

I say this because when I do make our dinners, I try to incorporate a few meals during the week that I know he would gladly eat. Quite often we make my gluten free chicken nuggets (they happen to taste just like Chick-fil-a's!). But sometimes you need to feel a little more grown up, a little more like your food requires a knife and fork, not fingers - and that's when I make gluten free chicken tenders. So far, that seems to be a kid favorite in this household.

When I make chicken tenders, I like to try different variations to try to expand my son’s taste and give him a little bit of variety in some form.

I recently decided to make parmesan crusted chicken tenders, adapting it from my parmesan crusted pork chops recipe and adding a dipping sauce to it.

I’m not sure what it is about kids and dipping sauce, but if dipping sauce is involved they come running!

For dinner this week, enjoy a kid-friendly meal that your whole family will love with these easy chicken tenders.
