Description

Greek Chicken Tenders are a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that brings the essence of the Mediterranean right to your table. Marinated in a zesty blend of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs, these tenders are grilled or baked to perfection, ensuring every bite is juicy and aromatic.


Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

3 tbsp olive oil

4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp smoked paprika


Instructions

1. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika.

2. Add chicken to marinade and coat well. Refrigerate 30 minutes to 4 hours.

3. Preheat grill to medium-high or oven to 400°F (200°C).

4. Cook chicken 6–7 minutes per side until 165°F (75°C).

5. Rest 5 minutes before slicing and serve.
