Description

🍗 Experience a tender, spice‑infused chicken that’s ready in minutes, perfect for busy weeknights.
🥓 The rich Cajun‑cream sauce and optional crispy bacon add indulgent flavor without the need for a grill.


Ingredients

Scale

½ tsp salt

1 ½ tsp chili powder

1 ½ tsp onion powder

2 tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

2 lb (≈ 900 g) chicken tenders, patted dry

¼ cup (≈ 55 g) butter, divided

2 cups (≈ 480 ml) heavy cream


Instructions

1-First off, mix up the spices in a small bowl: combine the salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. This blend is what gives the dish its wow factor! Next, sprinkle that spice mix evenly over both sides of the chicken tenders for that flavorful coating.

2-Now, heat half of the butter (that’s about 2 tablespoons) in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook it, turning once, until it’s fully cooked through this takes roughly 8 minutes. Once done, take the chicken out and set it aside on a plate to rest.

3-Add the remaining butter and the heavy cream to the same pan. Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer, stirring now and then, until the sauce thickens up in about 5 to 7 minutes. It’s amazing how this simple step creates such a creamy base! Finally, pop the chicken back into the pan, coat it with the sauce, and heat it briefly to blend everything together.

4-Serve it hot over pasta, angel-hair noodles, or even mashed potatoes if you’re feeling fancy. For more chicken ideas, check out another chicken favorite like Orange Chicken Meatballs. This whole process takes just 20 minutes total, and your family will think you’re a pro!

Notes

💡 No marinating needed; the quick seasoning delivers flavor instantly.
🔥 Keep an eye on the sauce while simmering; lower the heat to avoid scorching.
🥓 For extra crunch, top each serving with crumbled crispy bacon or toasted breadcrumbs.
