Begin by preparing the marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Place the chicken tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and gently shake off any excess liquid. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken tenderloins on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is no longer pink inside.
Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the grilled chicken tenderloins with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your sugar-free, perfectly grilled chicken tenderloins!
