Ingredients
Scale
-
2 lb. chicken tenders, unbreaded
-
4 tablespoons butter, divided
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
2 cups heavy cream
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Parsley, to garnish (optional)
SPICE MIX
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the spice mix of garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt and pepper and generously season both sides of the chicken tenders with it.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the chicken tenders on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. You will need to do this in batches. Remove chicken to a plate.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer until the sauce has thickened and reduced, about 5-8 minutes.
- Return chicken and plate juices to skillet and simmer for another 2 minutes or until chicken is warmed through.
- Dish and serve hot over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice topped with chopped fresh parsley (optional).
- Enjoy!
Notes
-
Spice it up – Add some spice with a little cayenne.
-
Make it smoky – A dash or two of smoked paprika will really add some smoky undertones.
-
Add more flavor – Crumbled bacon will go great with the cream sauce.
-
Add some veggies – You can try some fresh sliced mushrooms or spinach to bulk up the dish a little. You might need to add more cream sauce to account for the added volume.
