Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken tenders to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
  5. Grill or cook the chicken tenders for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
