Sazón Seasoned Chicken Tenders

I just love this sazon chicken tender dish because it’s so quick and easy to make, in just under 30 minutes.  These sazon chicken tenders give the impression of a complex dish without a lot of hassle.  It’s so flavorful and different from everyday chicken dishes because of the bold flavored Sazón Seasoning.  Sazón is a Spanish seasoning that is not hugely known, but once you taste it you’ll be sold.  You’ll want to use it in your cooking over and over.  It has a warm and comforting flavor sure to please tired hungry bellies after a long day.

Savory Chicken Tenders

Sazon seasoning makes these sazon chicken tenders amazing with a fresh savory flavor you’ll want to repeat and try on different food.  It’s a Spanish seasoning that is heavy on annatto seeds (achiote) and known for it’s brilliant rich color in cooking.  In my Sazon seasoning mix I use Turmeric in place of annatto sometimes because it is more readily available, plus the flavor is still just as amazing.

Quick to Table Tenders

These sazon chicken tenders are a quick weeknight dish that takes under 30 minutes to prep and cook.  It’s my go-to chicken dish that I know I can make on the fly if I’ve already got my Sazon seasoning pre-made.  The ease of making this dish along with the delicious outcome make it a pleasure to make even on a time constrained dinner prep.

Give this easy, delicious and savory dish a try! You might find it becomes a regular chicken dish in your cooking repertoire.
