Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Chicken - Start by patting the chicken tenderloins dry with paper towels.
  2. Step 2: Season the Chicken - In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, oregano, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning blend evenly over the chicken tenderloins.
  3. Step 3: Heat the Skillet - Place your skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
  4. Step 4: Sear the Chicken - Carefully place the seasoned chicken tenderloins in the hot skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Step 5: Rest and Serve - Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken is dry before seasoning for the best sear.
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking to retain moisture.
  • Experiment with fresh herbs for added flavor!
