Greek Crispy Tenders (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Marinade
01 -
1 lb chicken tenders
02 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
03 -
2 tbsp olive oil
04 -
1 tsp paprika
05 -
1 tsp dried thyme
06 -
Juice of 1 lemon
07 -
1 tsp dried oregano
08 -
1/4 tsp black pepper
09 -
1/2 tsp salt
10 -
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a big bowl and whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper until it's all blended.
02 -
Place the chicken tenders in your marinade and make sure they're completely covered. Pop the bowl in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or a couple of hours if you've got time.
03 -
Fire up your grill or heat a skillet on medium-high. If you're using a skillet, drizzle a little olive oil first so the chicken doesn't stick.
04 -
Take the chicken out of the marinade, letting extra juice drip off. Cook it on your heated grill or skillet for around 5-7 minutes on each side until it's golden and hits an internal temp of 165°F (75°C).
05 -
Let the chicken sit for a few minutes to stay juicy. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top, then serve it while warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Leaving the chicken in the marinade longer lets the flavors soak in more. Two hours is ideal if you can wait!
