Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts (cut into strips)
- 30 g butter ( 2 tbsp)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
- Heat up a frying pan on a medium heat.
- Add the peeled and chopped garlic and chopped herbs, give everything a good stir, and leave it to cook for 30 seconds so that the garlic can release its flavour.
- Arrange the chicken tenders onto an oven-safe dish and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour over the sauce, and bake for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Notes
- Cutting the chicken breasts into strips not only makes it more practical portion-wise, especially if you have kids, but it also cuts down on the baking time.
- If you cut it into bite-sized chunks, I would expect the baking time to decrease even further to around 20-23 minutes. Whole chicken breasts will take a long longer, possibly around 30-35 minutes, but do keep an eye on them.
