Instructions
Creating Greek Chicken Tenders is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken tenders to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
4. Cook the Chicken: Once the pan is hot, add the marinated chicken tenders. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
5. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If needed, cook for an additional couple of minutes.
6. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
7. Serve and Enjoy: These tenders are delicious on their own, or you can serve them in wraps, on salads, or with your favorite sides.
