Easy Weeknight Chicken Tenders
Save Recipe

Ingredients
  1. 1 pound Chicken tenders or thin-sliced breast fillets (suggest Trader Joe’s tenders)
  2. Wondra flour or regular flour
  3. Salt
  4. Pepper
  5. Olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add ¼ cup flour, salt and pepper to shallow dish and mix. Grab an oven-safe pan and place over medium-high heat.
  2. Meanwhile, lightly coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture and place on plate. When pan is hot, add 1-2 Tbsp olive oil. Heat till shimmering.
  3. Place chicken in pan without overcrowding (cook in batches if needed). Important—do not move chicken for 3 minutes once you place it in the pan. After one side is golden, flip and cook another 2 minutes on other side.
  4. Place entire pan in oven for 5 minutes to finish cooking. You can cut into the chicken to make sure it’s no longer pink inside. If it is still pink, leave in oven another few minutes.
Notes
  1. Browning on the stove and finishing in the oven is quick and easy, and your chicken will be cooked inside without getting burned outside.
  2. Make sure you remove the chicken fillets from the fridge and let them come to room temperature, so take them out 20 minutes before cooking
