My Favorite Chicken

I love cooking this chicken, because it’s super simple! The best part about cooking it is that you can season it however you want! I didn’t realize until I talked to people about how I love eating all types of meats, that people sometimes under season. My best-friend who isn’t much of meat fan, said she likes eating meat at our house because we use so much seasoning. I think that is one of the reasons people don’t really like certain meats, because it's under seasoned. I had some chicken once that was under seasoned and I wouldn’t like meat either if it was that bland. Bleck! 

However I am the season queen. I may even OVER season. I just feel like I’d rather have a little more seasoning that bland nasty food (only exception to this rule is to much salt.). I promise if you try this chicken you’ll like it! :) I make this chicken for my boyfriend all the time! (I was actually making it for him in these pictures :P) He loves it and says it tastes wonderful every time! :) 

Don't forget this chicken can be seasoned anyway, this is how my family likes it and its super yummy! So try this version then start experimenting. I also really like making this chicken with garlic salt and lemon pepper seasoning yum!

Lets get started! 

First things first, you’ll need a pan:

A cup with water,

Pour the water into the pan until it just fills the bottom, I don’t use any oil but I am also using a non-stick pan so I don’t need it. If you are using a different type of pan you may need to use a little bit of oil,

Add your chicken tenders,

Season with garlic salt (I use Lawry’s), and Mrs. Dash Table Blend and Fiesta Lime seasoning, and place lid on pan. When seasoning I don't measure just cover the chicken evenly and make sure it is completely covered with all the seasonings as picture below.

(I ran out of the Table Blend so it is not pictured.)

  

 Garlic salt, 

 Table blend and Fiesta Lime,

Put lid on pan and let cook on one side on medium to medium high (6 on my stove is perfect) for 7-8 minutes the water should be at a simmer, after the chicken should look white, its ready to flip, (as in the picture below),

 Flip over and season lightly with the garlic salt, table blend and fiesta lime again. (As you can see picture below don't use as much seasoning as the first time.)

Cook on the other side for about 6 minutes (with lid on). After water should have mostly evaporated. When the chicken is broken into it should look white in the middle. If it is still pink cook a couple more minutes.

After the 6 minutes your pan should look like this, the water is gone. (Above) Take out of pan, serve and enjoy!

All done! 

Look how juicy that chicken is, yum!

My Favorite Chicken Recipe

Package of chicken tenders (about 8 tenders per batch),

Garlic salt,

Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime,

Mrs. Dash Table Blend

Water

Put pan on stove and turn heat on to medium to medium high (6 is perfect on my stove). Add enough water to the pan so the water just fills the bottom of the pan. Add your chicken tenders and season one side completely with garlic salt, Mrs. Dash Table Blend and Fiesta Lime. Put lid on pan and let cook on that side for 7-8 minutes. After, the chicken should no longer look pink the outside it should be white, flip the chicken now. Lightly season with the garlic salt, Table Blend and Fiesta Lime on the second side. Put lid back on pan and cook second side for about 6 minutes, the water should be evaporated and when the chicken is broken into it should be white. Take out of the pan and serve! Enjoy! 

*Tips*

If the chicken is white in the middle but slightly juicy looking it is okay to take out of the pan a wait a couple minutes before serving. The chicken will continue cooking after you take it out of the pan. 

I always make this chicken in bulk for my boyfriend and cooking it this way leaves it moist for leftovers or other meals. We like to put a little bit of water on the chicken then put it in the microwave for a little bit so it stays moist when warming it up. Because they are tenders 30 seconds does the job for about 2 tenders in our microwave. 

I would love to hear what you guys did differently and if you liked it! :)
