Cajun Chicken Tenders

Overview

  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breast

Cajun Spice Mixture:

  • 1/2 tbs Salt

  • 2 tsp Garlic powder

  • 2 tsp Onion powder

  • 1/2-1 tb Cajun spice

  • 1/2 tbs Paprika

  • 1 tsp Oregano

  • 1 tbs Water

  • 1 tbs Oil of choice

Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

  • 1/4 cup Ketchup

  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder

  • Pinch Salt

  • Pinch Cajun

Method

  1. Preheat oven to broil 550 degrees.
  1. Line a baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Spread chicken out onto baking pan.
  1. Stir all ingredients for the spice mix mixture together in a small bowl until it reaches the consistency of a thin paste.
  1. Toss chicken tenders in the seasoning, and spray evenly with cooking spray.
  1. Roast in preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (no longer pink in the center of the thickest piece), and/or reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees.
  1. Sprinkle with an extra dash of paprika just before serving if desired (this will give the chicken a pretty pop of color and flavor, but isn’t needed).

Make the dipping sauce:

Stir all ingredients for the dipping sauce together well in a small bowl while chicken is cooking. Serve alongside chicken tenders!
