Instructions
Creating these Mediterranean Chicken Tenders is straightforward. Follow these easy steps to achieve delicious results:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken tenders in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat Oven or Grill: If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade and place them on a baking sheet or grill. If baking, spread them out evenly on the sheet; if grilling, arrange them directly on the grill grates.
5. Bake or Grill: Cook for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked thoroughly (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
6. Let Rest: Remove the chicken from the oven or grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for added color and flavor.
