Equipment

  • 12-inch Non-Stick Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 lb chicken tenders
  • 1/4 cup butter divided
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Pat the chicken tenders dry and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken.
  • Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and melt half of the butter (about 2 tablespoons).
  • Add the seasoned chicken tenders and cook until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes, turning as needed.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, pour in the heavy cream and add the remaining butter, stirring to combine.
  • Simmer gently until the sauce thickens, about 5–7 minutes, spooning sauce over the chicken.
  • Serve the chicken with the cream sauce spooned over it; optionally serve over pasta or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature butter for easier melting.
  • Adjust cayenne to taste for more or less heat.
  • Pat chicken dry to ensure a good sear.
  • Simmer gently to avoid curdling the cream.
