Savory Mediterranean Chicken Tenders

Print Recipe

Delicious chicken tenders marinated in lemon and herbs, perfect for a cozy dinner or a festive gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound skinless and boneless chicken tenderloins
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large lemon (juiced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Prep the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken tenderloins to the marinade, making sure they’re well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into a zip-top bag for easy tossing.
  3. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Once the grill is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess. Place them on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Let It Rest: Once cooked, transfer the tenders to a plate. Let them rest for a few minutes to lock in those juices.
  6. Plate Up: Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces, and serve alongside tzatziki, mixed greens, and cherry tomatoes.

Notes

For a beautiful presentation, arrange chicken tenders with tzatziki sauce and vibrant vegetables. Consider adding fresh herbs or lemon zest for extra flair.
