- Brush each chicken tender generously with the prepared cilantro pesto, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil, then cook the chicken tenders for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let the cooked chicken tenders rest for a few minutes before serving, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
