In a bowl, mix lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
Add the chicken tenders, coating them well.
Let marinate for 15–30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
Step 2: Sear the Chicken
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add butter and olive oil.
Add the chicken tenders and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3: Make the Lemon Butter Sauce
Reduce heat to low and add remaining lemon juice and an extra tablespoon of butter to the pan.
Spoon the sauce over the chicken tenders for extra flavor and moisture.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with extra lemon slices.
