Garlic Butter Chicken Tenders

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound of chicken tenders
  • 3 tablespoons of butter
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken Tenders: Pat the chicken tenders dry with a paper towel and season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  2. Melt the Butter: In a skillet or pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for a minute or until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden.
  4. Add Seasonings: Stir in the paprika and dried thyme, and mix well with the garlic and butter. This will infuse the butter with flavor.
