These Greek Chicken Tenders are juicy, flavorful, and marinated in a zesty blend of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and traditional Mediterranean herbs. Perfectly grilled or baked to a golden brown, they make an easy and healthy main dish that’s ideal for family dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Marinade

  • 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. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor infusion.
  3. Preheat Cooking Surface: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) for baking.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Grill or bake the chicken tenders for 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the outside is golden brown.
  5. Rest and Serve: Allow the cooked chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken for longer (up to 4 hours) enhances the flavor and tenderness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely to 165°F (75°C).
  • For a smoky touch, use a charcoal grill or add smoked paprika as indicated.
  • Can be served with tzatziki sauce, Greek salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
  • For a quicker meal, bake instead of grilling.
