  • 2 lb Chicken tenders Or boneless skinless breasts cut into strips
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Adjust to taste
  • 1 1/2 tsp Chili powder Standard mild chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 2 tsp Garlic powder Granulated garlic works well too
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper Adjust for heat preference
  • 1/4 cup Butter Divided use (2 tbsp for searing, 2 tbsp for sauce)
  • 2 cups Heavy cream Do not substitute with milk for best results

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Pat the chicken tenders dry and coat them thoroughly with the spice mixture on all sides.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons (half of the butter) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the heavy cream to the skillet.
  • Simmer the sauce, whisking constantly to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the mixture thickens and becomes silky (about 5-7 minutes).
  • Return the cooked chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan. Toss to coat the chicken in the sauce and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
