Greek-Style Grilled Chicken Tenders

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) chicken tenders

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tbsp dried oregano (or 1 ½ tbsp fresh oregano, chopped)

• 1 tsp dried thyme (optional)

• 1 tsp ground cumin (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

• Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper.

   • Whisk everything together until well combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Place the chicken tenders in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

   • Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.

   • Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours. For best results, marinate for 4 hours or overnight.

3. Grill the Chicken:

   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

   • Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the chicken from sticking.

   • Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade and place them on the grill.

   • Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), and the tenders are golden brown and slightly charred.

4. Serve:

   • Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

   • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
