Greek Chicken Tenders (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Marinade
01 -
1 tsp dried thyme
02 -
1 tsp paprika
03 -
1/4 tsp black pepper
04 -
1 lb chicken tenders
05 -
2 tbsp olive oil
06 -
Juice from one lemon
07 -
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
08 -
1 tsp dried oregano
09 -
1/2 tsp salt
10 -
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, for topping
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a big bowl and toss in olive oil, lemon juice, chopped garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix it all up until smooth.
02 -
Drop the chicken tenders into the bowl and stir so everything's coated. Cover it up and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or a few hours if you've got the time.
03 -
Heat up a grill or a pan over medium-high heat. If you're using a skillet, add a little oil to keep things from sticking.
04 -
Take the chicken out of the marinade and let any excess drip off. Cook it for 5-7 minutes per side until it's golden and reaches 165°F (75°C) inside.
05 -
Let the chicken sit for a few minutes so it stays juicy. Sprinkle with parsley and enjoy warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Letting the chicken soak for up to 2 hours really pumps up the flavor.
