Garlic butter chicken tenders

Here’s an easy, teen-friendly Garlic Butter Chicken Tenders recipe 🍗🧄

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) chicken tenders
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
• Fresh parsley (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Season the chicken
   Pat chicken tenders dry. Season both sides with paprika, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Cook the chicken
   Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken tenders and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Make garlic butter
   In the same pan, lower heat slightly and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds (don’t let it burn).
4. Combine
   Return chicken to the pan and toss in the garlic butter for 1–2 minutes until well coated.
5. Finish & serve
   Sprinkle with parsley if you like. Serve hot.
