Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, and onion powder to create the marinade.
Place the chicken tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or glass container with a lid.
Pour the marinade over the chicken tenderloins, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the container or bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
Remove the chicken tenderloins from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the marinade.
Place the tenderloins on the grill, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the tenderloins from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving for an added touch of freshness.
