Low carb skillet chicken tenders are my go-to for fast, healthy weeknight meals.  Learning how to make just-like-grilled chicken tenders indoors is a game changer!  This recipe parallels my recent post for grilled chicken tenders by using the same basic ingredients- only cooked in a skillet.  Using a well-heated skillet makes the chicken tenders cook quickly and helps keep them tender and juicy.  Let’s get started:

How to cook tender and juicy skillet chicken tenders:

Begin with an about 1# package of chicken tenders.  If the tenders are very thick, cut them lengthwise into two.  This will help speed up the cooking process.  

There are 2 main ingredients used to flavor the chicken tenders.  Korean bbq sauce and rotisserie seasoning combine to help give the tenders a blast of flavor.

Brown the tenders in a heated skillet using a small amount of olive oil.  Turn tenders for even browning.

Easy skillet chicken tenders can be used for salads, sandwiches- the possibilities are endless!
