Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
Add the chicken tenderloins to the bowl and ensure each piece is well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken tenderloins from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off.
Place the tenderloins on the heated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the tenderloins to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken tenderloins with your favorite low-carb side dishes or salads.
