Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken tenderloins
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, ground black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the chicken tenderloins to the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more intense flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, first bring it to temperature on the stovetop.
Step 4
Lightly coat the grill grates with a non-stick spray or brush them with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken tenderloins from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on the grill.
Step 6
Grill the tenderloins for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the tenderloins from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This redistributes the juices and keeps the chicken moist.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken tenderloins with your choice of healthy side dishes, such as a green salad or steamed vegetables.
