Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken tenders with the garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine and set aside.
  • Set a large skillet over medium to high heat and add the olive oil. Add the chicken tenders and cook for about 4 minutes, flip over and continue cooking for a further 4 minutes or until cooked through. Turn off the heat and remove the chicken tenders from the skillet.
  • In the same skillet set over medium heat add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 - 2 minutes. Add the garlic and give a good stir until it sizzles. Reduce heat to low, add the parsley and stir well. Add the chicken tenders and coat completely with the garlic butter.
