Easy Oven-Baked Chicken Tenders
These easy oven-baked chicken tenders are a perfect quick and healthy meal prep option.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast tenders (about 8-10 pieces)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or any healthy cooking oil you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons tamari (a gluten-free soy sauce alternative)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Get your oven ready! Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Grab a baking sheet – no need to grease it, the chicken will release its own oils!
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken tenders with avocado oil, tamari, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Let them marinate while the oven heats up; this helps them soak up all that yummy flavor!
- Arrange the seasoned chicken tenders in a single layer on your baking sheet.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer shows an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Cooking times can vary, so always check with a thermometer for perfectly juicy chicken.
- Serve your delicious tenders warm with your favorite healthy sides or a light dipping sauce. Leftovers stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days!
