Cooking Instructions

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. 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. 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. 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.
