It doesn't get much easier than this! We enjoy these chicken tenderloins served for dinner with sides. Leftovers are delicious when served on a bed of greens for lunch the next day! Enjoy!

How To Make cast iron chicken tenderloins

Step 1

Mix all the spices together in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the chicken tenderloins by removing the white tendon carefully with a sharp knife.
Step 3

In a bowl coat the chicken with the olive oil. Sprinkle the spice mixture on all sides of the chicken. Turn until well coated.
Step 4

Heat a cast iron pan on medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes. The chicken will start to brown, and the inside will start to turn white. Flip the chicken pieces and cook for 3 more minutes. Chicken is done when internal temp reaches 165 degrees. DO NOT OVER COOK!
Step 5

These chicken tenderloins are moist and delicious! Serve as a main dish with your choice of sides. Great in salads too!
