SHEET PAN BLACKENED CHICKEN STRIPS



Sheet Pan Blackened Chicken Strips image

I really love the convenience of cooking in the oven on a sheet pan, since you can do a larger quantity than in a skillet, and there is a lot less mess. These tasty, versatile chicken strips have no breading, so they are compliant for many different eating plans. With lots of fragrant spices and a personalized "heat" level, you can serve them with a dip as an appetizer, add some toppings and wrap in a flat-bread or tortilla, or serve in a toasted roll with remoulade for a taste of New Orleans. Coming in well under 30 minutes, they make a delicious addition to any meal.

1 ½ teaspoons paprika
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 ½ pounds chicken tenderloins
