Notes

  • The total time is enough for making 4 servings of chicken tenders.
  • The cooking time might change depending on the size of the chicken tenders.
  • Avoid overcooking the chicken as it'll become overly dry and tough.
  • You can ensure the chicken's doneness by checking its internal temperature using a thermometer. Cooked chicken should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • If you don't have all the listed spices in your kitchen, a simple seasoning of salt and pepper will do in a pinch.
  • Pair the chicken tenders with your favorite salad for a more balanced meal.
