  • Author: Chloe
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenders
– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make Crispy Greek Chicken Tenders:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Add Chicken: Place the chicken tenders in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat Oven: If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
4. Prepare the Breading: If baking, you can create breadcrumbs by toasting slices of bread or use store-bought panko crumbs for added crunch.
5. Coat Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off. If using breadcrumbs, coat each tender in the breadcrumbs to create a crispy exterior.
6. Bake or Fry: Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. If frying, heat oil in a pan and cook the tenders for about 3-5 minutes per side or until crispy and cooked through.
7. Cool and Serve: Let the tenders cool slightly before serving for the best texture.

These straightforward steps guide you to an incredible meal that doesn’t compromise on flavor or health.
