Packed with flavor and just the right level of heat, these blackened chicken tenders make a delicious quick dinner and are a perfect addition to a weekly meal prep.
Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and preheat your oven to 425° F.
Place the chicken tenders, 1 tablespoon or avocado oil, and the blackening seasoning into a gallon zip. top bag or a large bowl. Toss the ingredients to coat the tenders with the seasoning.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat.
3 tablespoon Avocado Oil
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken tenders in an even layer. Sear the tenders for 1 ½-2 minutes on each side working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding your pan.
After searing the chicken, transfer them to the prepared sheet pan and bake for 6-10 minutes or until they reach a minimum internal temperature of 165° F.
While the chicken is in the oven, add the butter to the skillet used to sear the chicken. Stir the butter around until it is melted. After the chicken is out of the oven, carefully brush the melted butter over the chicken tenders.
