Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)

  • ½ tablespoon chili powder, or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 pound chicken tenders

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

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

  2. 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.
