Make
-
Heat oven to temperature recommended for your tenders. Line a sheet pan with foil or brush with some cooking oil and spread tenders out on the prepared sheet pan. Bake according to package instructions.
-
While tenders bake, place green beans in a saute pan with enough salted water to barely cover them. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer the beans until crisp-tender, ~6-7 minutes. Drain well and toss with butter (if using) and lemon juice.
-
Warm rolls according to package directions.
-
If you'd like, warm the hot honey briefly in the microwave - ~15-20 seconds.
-
Divide tenders among serving plates and drizzle with hot honey. Serve with green beans and rolls on the side, plus extra hot honey for dipping. Enjoy!
