This 15-Minute Chicken Dinner Makes Weeknights Easy—And It's Only 5 Ingredients!
  1. 1

    Add the honey, Dijon, and red pepper flakes to a small bowl and stir until fully combined; set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a small dish. Pat the chicken tenders dry with a paper towel, add them to the flour mixture to coat all sides, then shake off any excess flour.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the tenders in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Drizzle the honey mixture over the chicken tenders and serve.
