Instructions

  • Place the chicken tenders in a large shallow bowl. Season with the salt and pepper and make sure all the tenders are seasoned.
  • In a large heavy bottomed skillet set over high heat, add the olive oil and heat for about 2 - 3 minutes until the pan is really hot.

  • Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Serve with your favourite dipping sauces on the side.
