Blackened Chicken Strips
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®)
-
½ tablespoon chili powder, or to taste
-
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

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

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.
