1. Season the Chicken: Pat dry the chicken tenders and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and half of the lemon zest.

2. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sear the chicken tenders for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Lemon Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic, stirring until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in the lemon juice, honey (if using), red pepper flakes, and remaining lemon zest. Stir well.

4. Coat the Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the tenders. Let simmer for 2 minutes to absorb the flavors.

5. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and garnish with lemon slices. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
