Provided by Kimber

Categories     Dinner

Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds chicken tenderloins ((about 12))
1.5 tbsp butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or up to 1/2 tsp to taste (optional))

Steps:

  • Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, Old Bay, salt, and cayenne pepper (optional) and mix.
  • Lay the chicken tenders flat and sprinkle seasonings on the first side, lightly pat them in, and then sprinkle the remaining seasoning on the back side and pat in. This can sit in the refrigerator for up to an hour seasoned.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat for 2-3 minutes, then reduce to medium high and add the butter.
  • Once the butter is melted and starting to brown, but not smoke, put the chicken flat in the skillet. Do not crowd the skillet. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Let the chicken cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side without moving or checking it, then flip and cook 2 minutes on the other side. Then reduce heat to low, cover the pan and continue to cook until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165˚F (about 1-2 more minutes.)
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet (to prevent it from continuing to cook) and serve warm with fresh parsley or freshly squeezed lemon if desired.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use a heavy-duty baking sheet: A heavy-duty baking sheet will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before you add the chicken. This will help the chicken cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to leave enough space between the chicken strips so that they can cook evenly.
  • Flip the chicken halfway through cooking: This will help the chicken cook evenly on both sides.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest: After the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sheet-pan blackened chicken strips are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, and the blackened seasoning gives it a nice kick. Serve the chicken strips with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
