Place the oven rack 6 inches from the broiler. Preheat the broiler while you prepare the pan.
Line the bottom of a broiler pan with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Place the top part of the pan over the foil and spray with cooking spray.
Arrange the seasoned or marinated chicken in a single layer on the top of the broiler pan. Leave a bit of space between each tenderloin for even browning and air flow.
Place the broiler pan under the broiler and cook the chicken for 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and use a fork or tongs to flip the chicken over. Cook for an additional 5 minutes under the broiler to brown the other side.
