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