1. Clean the chicken tenders by rinsing them and patting them dry.
2. Individually sprinkle each herb or spice on each side of the chicken tenders. Your particular preferences will determine how much you use. A suggestion is to use a light sprinkling of the garlic and onion powders, then a heavy sprinkling with the rest of the spices.
3. In a large-sized skillet over medium heat, melt the ghee or butter and add the oil. Place the chicken tenders into the pan, with the seasoned side facing downwards, do this as soon as the pan is hot. Don’t move the tenders once they’re in the skillet. Cook them for 3 to 5 minutes, or until their edges are opaque and white.
4. Season the opposite side of the chicken while it is cooking in the skillet.
5. Turn the chicken tenders over once their edges have turned white and cook them on the opposite side for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until totally cooked through and there’s no pink color visible anywhere. Tenders that are thinner will typically take less than 3 minutes, while those that are thicker will take longer.
6. Remove the cooked tenders from the skillet and serve them immediately with a dipping sauce of Honey Mustard or Ranch dressing.
