Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Pan-Seared Chicken Tenderloins.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, blend the chicken tenderloins with three tablespoons of olive oil, seasoning them generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Mix thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated.
Step 3
Next, introduce the vibrant flavors of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, and chili powder to the bowl.
Step 4
Use tongs or a spoon to toss the chicken, ensuring the spices envelop each tenderloin evenly.
Step 5
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the oil shimmers, gently lay the seasoned chicken tenderloins in the skillet.
Step 7
Cover and let them sizzle for about six minutes.

After this time, brighten the dish by squeezing the juice of half a lemon over the chicken.
Step 9
Flip the tenderloins and continue cooking until they develop a rich, crispy crust, which should take another six minutes.
