Ready in under 20 minutes, this is the perfect dinner to make when in a hurry. Spiced up by the addition of cayenne pepper but cooled down thanks to the dry ranch dressing.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix , such as Hidden Valley Ranch®
  • 0.5 tablespoons chili powder , or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix dry ranch dressing, chili powder, cayenne, and black pepper in a small bowl. Coat chicken tenders with dry rub mix.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place chicken tenders into the hot oil. Cook over medium heat without moving to blacken skin, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 2 more minutes.
