Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken tenders or slice 3 large chicken breasts into tenders
  • Veggies fresh or frozen (I used 1/2 bag frozen broccoli florets, 1/2 bag frozen sliced bell peppers and 12 fresh pearl onions)
  • 1 cup butter melted for the chicken
  • 1/4 cup butter melted for veggies
  • 3 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic pepper
  • 1/4 – 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Water and salt for brining

Instructions

  • Start by placing your chicken tenders in a large bowl of warm water. Add a handful of salt. Allow your tenders to brine for 30 minutes. This will keep them from drying out while baking. They will come out fork tender and juicy.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°
  • Put your veggies of choice in a large bowl and pour 1/4 cup of melted butter over them. Give them a stir to coat. Choose whatever veggies you and your family enjoy. Fresh or frozen is fine.
  • Gather your seasonings. I keep an empty spice bottle with a shaker top on it to put my spice mixtures in. It just makes it easier to sprinkle it. Combine your spices in a small bowl, or put them in your spice shaker and give them a good shake to combine.
  • Remove your tenders from the brine. Rinse them and pat them dry.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange your tenders on the baking sheet. Brush each tender liberally with melted butter on both sides.
  • (If you have leftover butter pour it over your veggie mixture)
  • Sprinkle each tender with seasoning mixture. Pat the seasoning into the tender on all sides, coating evenly.
  • Cover your tenders evenly with your veggie mixture. Sprinkle any remaining seasoning over veggies.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until your chicken tenders reach an internal temperature of 165°.
  • When tenders are done, turn off the oven and allow them to rest in the oven for 5 minutes.
