Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly coat an 8x11-inch baking pan with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepArrange the chicken tenders in a single layer in the prepared pan. Evenly spread the softened butter over the tops of the chicken tenders. Sprinkle with salt and paprika. Generously drizzle with fresh lemon juice. (10 minutes)
03
StepBake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a tender should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (30 minutes)
