Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Lemon Dill Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2/3 cup fat free half-and-half
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1
Mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle on both sides of chicken tenders.

Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken tenders and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and loosely tent with foil.

Step 3
Reduce heat to medium and melt butter in the skillet. Add mushrooms and onion and cook until mushrooms start to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 4
Whisk together half-and-half, chicken broth, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons dill, and cornstarch in a medium bowl; add to the skillet. Stir until sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 5
Reduce heat to low, add chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of dill on top of chicken, and serve with lemon wedges.
