Ingredients

4 servings

1 1/2 to 2 pounds of chicken tenderloins
1 cup of Greek yogurt {or plain yogurt}
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 of a lemon, (juiced)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper {optional}
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Method

1
In a medium bowl whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, paprika, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.
2
Add the chicken tenders to a ziplock bag. Add the yogurt marinade into the ziplock and seal the bag. Use your hands to massage the marinade into the chicken.
3
Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Place the chicken in a single layer on the grill.
4
Cook for about 4 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
5
Remove chicken from the grill. Garnish with fresh parsley, lemon wedges and serve with a summer salad.

Notes

Marinating time: Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but preferably two hours in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and tenderize it. Store the grilled chicken in an air tight container for up to 4 days.
