Easy Healthy Pan Fried Chicken Tenders are the perfect item to meal prep for the week. Use these tasty tenders on salads, along with your favorite vegetables, or on top of a  healthy pizza.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 12 Chicken Tenders (Be sure to trim. They often have a small piece of cartlidge on the back that is not edible.)
  • 1-2 tbsp. Your Favorite Seasoning (see notes and post for suggestions)

Directions

  1. 1

    Drizzle the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Preheat the skillet to medium.  You want the oil to get shimmery, but do not allow it to smoke.

  2. 2

    Trim your chicken and add your favorite seasoning in an even coating on both sides. You'll probably need 1-2 tbsp.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken to the pan, but be sure to give it plenty of room. Giving the chicken plenty of room will ensure the brown crust forms from adding the seasonings. You may need to do this in 2 batches. Cook the tenders for about 3.5 minutes per side.  I like to check mine with an instant read thermometer. When it reaches 165-170 degrees, I know they are done.
