Fast and delicious, these simple turmeric chicken tenders are ready in under 10 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, mix the turmeric, salt (and dry basil if not using fresh). Use a larger bowl to mix spices with the chicken, until the tenders are mostly covered with turmeric on at least one side. If using fresh basil, mix the chicken and dry ingredients first, then add the fresh basil.
In a medium frying pan, add the oil and allow it to heat on medium.
Add the crushed garlic and allow to cook for a few seconds. Quickly after, add the chicken tenders one by one, so that each tender is in contact with the oil.
Pan fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until chicken is fully cooked (165 degrees F) and white inside (not pink).
Serve with your favorite side dishes!
Optional: Add sliced onions to the chicken before turning.
