  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
  • 1 tablespoon herbs de Provence
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • olive oil spray

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Gather all the tools and ingredients to make oven baked chicken tenders.
  • Trim the chicken tenders.

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and move the rack to the second highest placement inside the oven.
  • Mix the spices together in a small bowl.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with a light coating of olive oil. If you are going to have these baked chicken tenderloins on a stick, skewer them now.
  • Lay the chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Spray the tenders with olive oil. Sprinkle half the seasoning over all the tenderloins. Using tongs, flip the tenderloins and repeat.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Change the oven settings to broil. Broil for 3 minutes until the tenders are nicely browned.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Happy eating!

Notes

You can make these chicken tenders a couple days in advance of when you need them. They reheat wonderfully in the oven at 350 degrees for about 5-6 minutes.
