Ingredients

  • 8 1.25 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 1/2 tsp dry sazon seasoning
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 1/2 cup diced scallions
  • 1/3 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
  • kosher salt
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rub the chicken pieces with dry sazon seasoning and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.

  2. 2

    In a spacious nonstick skillet, warm 1 teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, introduce the chicken to the pan and cook for 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes until it develops a golden-brown crust. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

  3. 3

    Pour in the remaining teaspoon of oil and add the chopped scallions. Sauté over medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes until they become tender.

  4. 4

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then, add the diced tomato, season with salt, and let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes until it softens and thickens.

  5. 5

    Pour in the broth and stir to combine. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the sauce to loosen.
