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
Pepper
Instructions
Create the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Marinate the Chicken: Add chicken tenders to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high.
Assemble the Skewers: Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
Grill the Skewers: Place skewers on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through.
Rest and Garnish: Remove skewers from the grill and let rest before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Don’t skip resting time after grilling to maintain juiciness.
