Directions

1. Prepare the marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the OLIVE OIL, LEMON JUICE, MINCED GARLIC, OREGANO, THYME, PAPRIKA, SALT, and BLACK PEPPER until evenly combined.
2. Marinate the chicken: Add the CHICKEN TENDERS to the bowl and toss until each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
3. Preheat the grill: Heat an outdoor grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, lightly coat the cooking surface with OLIVE OIL to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow the excess liquid to drip away. Arrange the tenders on the hot grill or skillet without overcrowding the cooking surface.
5. Cook for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until the outside is golden brown with visible grill marks and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest and serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and let it rest for several minutes. Sprinkle with CHOPPED PARSLEY and serve warm with tzatziki, fresh lemon wedges, or a Greek salad, if desired.
