# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
02 -
Add the chicken tenders to the bowl, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for enhanced flavor.
03 -
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place them on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes to retain moisture. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
