Ingredients
- 1 lbs. Chicken Tenders Film Skin And Tender Muscle Removed
- ¾ tsp. Black Pepper Fresh Ground, More Or Less
- ¼ cup Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp. Paprika
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil

Preparation
Step 1
Clean and trim the chicken tenders, then transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix them thoroughly to craft a flavorful marinade.
Step 3
Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken, ensuring that all pieces are well-coated.
Step 4
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For maximum flavor, marinate for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If you’re using a skillet, you may need to add a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 7
Place them on the preheated grill or in the skillet. Grill or cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
Step 8
While grilling or cooking, you can brush the chicken with some of the remaining marinade to enhance the lemon and pepper flavors.
Step 9
Remove the chicken from the grill or skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
Step 10
Serve and Enjoy!
