Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken tenderloins, Cajun seasoning, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and lemon juice. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if needed. Once hot, add the marinated chicken tenderloins. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden-brown color.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides, such as rice, salad, or vegetables.
