Description
Prepare to embark on a flavorful journey with our delectable Greek Chicken Tenders! These juicy, tender chicken bites are bursting with the vibrant tastes of the Mediterranean, making them a truly irresistible addition to your culinary repertoire.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
1. To begin, prepare the flavorful marinade by combining the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika in a bowl. Slice the chicken breasts into tender-sized pieces and toss them in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor absorption.
2. When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F or heat a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. Bake the Greek Chicken Tenders in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or sauté them in the skillet for 8-10 minutes per side, until they are fully cooked and golden brown.
Notes
These Greek Chicken Tenders are the perfect centerpiece for a fresh and vibrant Mediterranean meal. Pair them with a crisp Greek salad, cool and creamy tzatziki sauce, or serve them over a bed of fluffy rice or pasta.
