Baked Chicken Tenderloins

Homemade chicken tenders are leagues better than anything from a freezer bag. These are coated in a simple herb and spice mixture, baked until golden, and come out tender and juicy every time. Kids love them, adults love them, and they are easy enough for a busy weeknight.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs chicken tenderloins
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp Redmond Real Salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the garlic granules, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Toss the chicken tenderloins with the olive oil, then coat with the spice mixture.
  4. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Notes

  • Serve with honey mustard, ranch, or a simple squeeze of lemon.
  • Slice and add to salads, grain bowls, or wraps for easy meal prep.
