Garlic Butter Chicken Tenders

Garlic Butter Chicken Tenders are a delicious and juicy dish made with tender chicken strips cooked in a rich, buttery garlic sauce. The chicken is seasoned with a blend of spices such as salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian herbs, then seared until golden brown. A generous amount of garlic is sautéed in butter, creating a fragrant and flavorful sauce that coats the chicken, making it incredibly savory and mouthwatering.

These chicken tenders have a crispy yet juicy texture, with a perfect balance of garlic, butter, and mild spices. They can be served on their own as a main dish, paired with rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables, or enjoyed as a snack with dipping sauces like ranch or honey mustard. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special gathering, offering a comforting and satisfying taste in every bite.
