When you are ready to cook, heat the remaining olive oil in a large pan till it is hot. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and lemons to the pan. If the chicken doesn’t make a sizzling sound when it hits the oil, the oil is not hot enough yet.

Cook the chicken tenders until browned on each side and cooked through. About 3-4 minutes a side.

Alternatively for a healthier option you can bake in the oven on gas mark 5 for 20-30 minutes. Turn chicken over after 10 minutes of cooking

Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
