Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
Step 2
Add the chicken tenderloins to the bowl and ensure each piece is well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the chicken tenderloins from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off.
Step 5
Place the tenderloins on the heated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Transfer the tenderloins to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the grilled chicken tenderloins with your favorite low-carb side dishes or salads.
