Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat 1 pound chicken tenders dry with paper towels, then season evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Dip each chicken tender into the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Step 3: Place coated tenders on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway.
