Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Add the chicken tenderloins to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 205°C).
Step 4
Once the grill is heated, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the marinated chicken tenderloins on the grill. Grill each tenderloin for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the grill and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 7
Serve your Paleo Perfectly Grilled Chicken Tenderloins warm with your favorite Paleo-friendly sides such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
