GREEK-STYLE GRILLED CHICKEN TENDERS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

1 lb chicken tenders

2 tbsp olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

‍ Directions:

1️⃣. Prepare the Marinade:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well blended.

2️⃣. Marinate the Chicken:

Add chicken tenders to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor.

3️⃣. Preheat & Prep:

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, drizzle a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.

4️⃣. Grill the Chicken:

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Cook for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 75°C).

5️⃣. Garnish & Serve:

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes to retain moisture. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Optional: Pair with a side of tzatziki or a fresh Greek salad.
