Ingredients

  • 3 chicken breasts (cut into strips)
  • 30 g butter ( 2 tbsp)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves of garlic

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
  • Heat up a frying pan on a medium heat.
  • Add the peeled and chopped garlic and chopped herbs, give everything a good stir, and leave it to cook for 30 seconds so that the garlic can release its flavour.
  • Arrange the chicken tenders onto an oven-safe dish and season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour over the sauce, and bake for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Notes

  • Cutting the chicken breasts into strips not only makes it more practical portion-wise, especially if you have kids, but it also cuts down on the baking time.
  • If you cut it into bite-sized chunks, I would expect the baking time to decrease even further to around 20-23 minutes. Whole chicken breasts will take a long longer, possibly around 30-35 minutes, but do keep an eye on them.
