Lemon-Herb Chicken Tenderloins

1.Pat the chicken tenderloins dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2.In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3.Add the seasoned chicken tenderloins to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

4.In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

5.Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for an additional minute to combine the flavors.

6.Return the chicken tenderloins to the skillet, spooning the lemon-herb butter sauce over them to coat well. Cook for another minute to heat through.

7.Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining sauce over the chicken.
