Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless chicken tenders
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning ( I use Seite Taco Seasoning which delivers amazing flavor!!) The link to it is above in this recipe.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pat of butter
  • Garnish with avocado & cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken tenders and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, and Cajun seasoning.
  2. Heat the Skillet: In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the pat of butter and let it melt.
  3. Cook the Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken tenders to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet . Serve over a salad or Couscous.

Tips

  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasonings for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Pair with steamed vegetables or a quinoa salad for a balanced plate.

Enjoy your healthy, low-fat chicken tenders that are full of flavor and sure to satisfy any meal all in under 20 minutes!#earnedcomission.
