Ingredients

1 pound chicken tenderloins room temperature
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
Melt the butter in the microwave until it is liquid. In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes, and butter.
Dredge the chicken tenderloins in the melted butter mixture.
Lay the chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can add a spritz of cooking spray to prevent any sticking.
Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
Serve warm.

Notes

TO STORE. Refrigerate cooled chicken in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

TO FREEZE. If frozen in ziplock bags, consume it anytime within 2-3 months.

TO REHEAT. I toss the thawed or refrigerated chicken on a baking tray and heat it for a few minutes in a preheated oven. You could also heat in a skillet, air-fryer, or microwave (although the microwave could dry out the chicken!).
