Greek Chicken Tenders

Tender, juicy chicken tenders marinated in Mediterranean flavors, perfect for a healthy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional for serving)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken tenders, making sure they’re well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Prep Your Cooking Surface: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure it’s hot before adding the chicken.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken tenders to the hot pan in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  4. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the tenders to a plate and cover with foil. Let them rest for about 5 minutes.
  5. Serve Up: Plate your chicken tenders, drizzle with leftover marinade if you have any, and serve alongside a bowl of Greek yogurt and lemon wedges.

Notes

For added flavor, serve with a salad or over greens. Feel free to experiment with spices for different variations.
