HERBED CHICKEN TENDERS



Herbed Chicken Tenders image

This is such a light, easy, yet flavorful way to cook chicken! I couldn't believe it when my kids actually fought over "who got more".....There were no leftovers when I made this, and I actually used this as the meat in a wonderful fettuccine Alfredo! Just delicious!

Provided by Stacky5

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs chicken breast tenders
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp. dried rosemary)
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Wash and drain chicken breast tenders.
  • Mix all of the other ingredients (except for the olive oil) in a small bowl and whisk thoroughly.
  • Rub the herb mixture onto the chicken tenders thoroughly, until coated well on both sides of the chicken.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
  • Add chicken to pan and sauté approximately 4 minutes on each side, until the color is lightly golden brown.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your chicken tenderloins are cooked perfectly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that your chicken tenderloins are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken tenderloins, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and parsley, will add a delicious flavor to your chicken tenderloins. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Lemon-herb chicken tenderloins can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.
