Quick and easy garlic butter chicken tenders recipe. Juicy chicken strips in butter and garlic, ready in under 25 minutes, perfect with rice, pasta or veggies.
In a small bowl, mash together the softened butter, Italian herbs and chopped parsley with a fork until well combined. Set aside.
50 g Butter (Unsalted), 1 teaspoon Italian Herb Seasoning, 1 tablespoon Parsley
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or shallow casserole over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in two batches until lightly golden, turning with tongs. Remove to a plate.
2 tablespoon Olive Oil
Reduce the heat to medium. If needed, add a little more oil to the pan, then add the chopped garlic. Cook gently for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3 Garlic Cloves
Add the butter mix to the pan and let it melt in, creating a wonderful garlic butter sauce.
Return the chicken to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on a medium heat, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and coated in the garlic butter sauce.
Notes
Use evenly sized chicken strips so they cook at the same rate.
Dredging the chicken in seasoned flour helps it brown and allows the garlic butter sauce to cling better.
Cook the garlic just until fragrant — don’t let it burn.
Serve immediately for the best texture; the coating can soften if left too long.
A squeeze of lemon or a splash of white wine can brighten the rich garlic butter flavour.
