Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken tenderloins
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken tenderloins to the bowl and toss to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, preheat over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the grill is hot, place the chicken tenderloins on the grill or grill pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C) and the tenderloins should have nice grill marks.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 6

Serve the grilled chicken tenderloins with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
