Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken Tenders
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 1 Lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken tenders to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl or transfer to a resealable bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Chicken: Once the pan is hot, add the marinated chicken tenders in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the tenders from the skillet. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve warm.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan while cooking, and adjust marinade time for flavor enhancement.
