Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 chicken tenders
  • salt and pepper
  • garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves coarsely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped
  • 1 fresh lime

Instructions
 

  • Put a skillet on at medium high and add about a tablespoon of olive oil. Salt, pepper and garlic powder both sides of the chicken and cook until the liquid running out is clear and/or they are firm to a poke with your finger. Remove them to a plate and turn the heat down to medium low.
  • While the chicken is cooking chop up the cilantro and the jalapeño. Rinse off a lime and cut it in half.
  • Add the juice from the lime and the chopped jalapeño to the pan and cook just for about a minute until the jalapeño starts to soften. Add the cilantro and cook just until it wilts a little. Spoon the sauce onto the chicken and serve it up!
