Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken tenders
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- Juice of one lemon
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until well blended.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken tenders to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes. If using metal skewers, skip this step.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken tenders onto the skewers, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the skewers on the grill, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and with nice grill marks.
- Let It Rest: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with Greek salad, couscous, or pita. Great with tzatziki or hummus.
