Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken tenderloins
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the chicken tenderloins to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavorful results.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 205°C). Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the chicken tenderloins from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off before placing them on the grill.

Step 5

Grill the chicken tenderloins for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 6

While grilling, brush the tenderloins with honey during the last few minutes of cooking for a slight caramelization and added sweetness.

Step 7

Remove the tenderloins from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Garnish the grilled chicken tenderloins with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as a fresh green salad, rice, or grilled vegetables.
