Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins room temperature
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
  • Melt the butter in the microwave until it is liquid. In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes, and butter.
  • Dredge the chicken tenderloins in the melted butter mixture.
  • Lay the chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can add a spritz of cooking spray to prevent any sticking.
  • Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

TO STORE. Refrigerate cooled chicken in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
TO FREEZE. If frozen in ziplock bags, consume it anytime within 2-3 months.
TO REHEAT. I toss the thawed or refrigerated chicken on a baking tray and heat it for a few minutes in a preheated oven. You could also heat in a skillet, air-fryer, or microwave (although the microwave could dry out the chicken!).
