Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Tenders Recipe, adapted from Christina Cherrier.

Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

The listed pan and basket capacity, cook times, and thermometer endpoint are for four servings.

Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.

Before you start

• Stovetop and large skillet
• Knife and cutting board
• Instant-read thermometer
• Microwave-safe covered dish

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

Cook

1. Step 1

   Season chicken strips with onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Microwave beans covered with their listed water for 8–10 minutes, until nearly tender.

2. Step 2

   Heat two-thirds of the butter over medium-low heat. Cook chicken in one layer for 2–3 minutes per side, continuing until 165°F; reserve.

3. Step 3

   Use remaining butter to cook garlic, parsley, hot sauce, optional flakes and beans for 4–5 minutes. Add stock and lemon and reduce briefly.

4. Step 4

   Return chicken, warm through and adjust seasoning; add optional lemon garnish.

Where your attention goes

Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.

Why this works

Nutrition per serving

Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided

Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated.

Listed allergens: milk. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.

First-cook checks

• The publisher lists 626 calories without a serving size or complete nutrition breakdown; per-portion nutrition remains unreported.
• Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
• Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
• The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.
• Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
