Grilled Chicken Tenders are made with a simple lemony marinade and cooked on a grill or grill pan. They're juicy, flavorful and very easy to batch meal prep

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast tenders
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (for serving)

Directions

  1. 1

    Pat the chicken tenders dry to remove any excess liquid and remove the tendons with a fork. Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper and stir to combine evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

  2. 2

    When ready to grill, preheat the grill or grill pan to medium heat. Place the chicken tenders on the grill, being careful not to overlap them. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the juices run clear.

  3. 3

    Remove the chicken tenders from the grill and allow the chicken to rest for a couple minutes before serving.
