Next, you’ll separate the meat from the ribs. With the breast skin-side up, start at the breastbone and use your knife to make a cut along the length of the bone.
Make short, scraping cuts very close to the ribs, while gently pulling the meat away with your other hand.
Continue to cut with your knife close to the bone, and remember, never cut towards your fingers.

Chicken Tenders
