Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until well combined.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or if baking, set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grill or bake the chicken tenders for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and are golden brown.
- Remove from the heat and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces or fresh vegetables.
Notes
For maximum flavor, marinate for at least 2-4 hours, or overnight if possible. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
