This dish comes from a famous restaurant in New Orleans. It is simple, quick, moist and delicious.
2 lb. chicken tenders
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 t. chili powder
1 1/2 t. onion powder
2 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. cayenne pepper, optional (or to taste)
1/4 c. butter, divided
2 c. heavy cream
Combine salt, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle over both sides of chicken tenders.
In large saute pan, melt half of the butter over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken tenders until done, about 8 minutes.
Pour the cream and remaining butter into the skillet. Lower heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Serve chicken and sauce over pasta or mashed potatoes, if desired.
