Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken tenders 907 g
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika powder
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic peeled and finely chopped
- ½ cup chicken broth or vegetable broth, 118 ml
- 1 lemon juiced
Instructions
- Add the chicken, onion powder, salt, thyme, pepper and paprika to a large bowl and toss everything to combine.
- Melt the butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken tenders in two batches for 5-7 minutes each time, flipping the tenders halfway through.

- Stir in the chicken broth and lemon juice and let it simmer for about 5 minutes or until it has reduced.
- Add the chicken back to the pan, then flip it back and forth to ensure that it is coated in the lemon garlic sauce.
- Serve with fresh thyme for garnish if desired.
Make In The Air Fryer
- Preheat air fryer to 400F / 200C.
- Place chicken and dry seasonings in a bowl, and toss to combine.
- Lightly spray the basket and carefully arrange the dry seasoned chicken, being careful not to crowd the tray.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway though. Cook in batches if needed.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce by combining butter, garlic, lemon juice and chicken broth in a skillet.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and coat with the sauce before serving
