You hardly need a recipe to make seasoned chicken tenderloin like this. I like to use a tenderloin when I’m short on time, as they cook quickly and evenly without any cross-slicing or pounding like you need to do to chicken breasts. I use bagged frozen tenderloin. You can put them in the oven while frozen, but if I have time I let them defrost on a pan for about an hour or so, before I pat them dry and season/oil them.
