A delightful recipe for Greek Chicken Tenders marinated in olive oil, lemon, and herbs, perfect for sharing with family and friends.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Boneless chicken (breast or thighs)
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tsp Thyme
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add your chicken tenders, ensuring they’re fully coated. Cover and let sit for at least 30 minutes—ideally, two hours for more robust flavor.
  2. Heat the skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Drizzle with a bit of oil if needed to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the chicken: Add the chicken tenders in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  4. Serve and enjoy: Remove from heat and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Serve your Greek Chicken Tenders with a lemon wedge, alongside tzatziki, or on a bed of fresh salad greens. Enjoy!

Notes

Allowing the chicken to marinate longer enhances the flavor. Serve with traditional Greek sides for a delightful meal.
