# Steps:

01 - Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken tenders and toss until thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
02 - Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
03 - Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high setting. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
04 - Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill tenders for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through with nice char marks. Internal temperature should reach 165°F.
05 - Arrange chicken tenders on a serving platter. Accompany with chilled yogurt sauce, lemon wedges, and sprinkle fresh herbs over the top.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The marinade does double duty, tenderizing the chicken while infusing it with bright Mediterranean flavors
  • That cooling yogurt sauce balances the char from the grill perfectly
  • Everything comes together in 30 minutes but tastes like you spent all day cooking
02 -
  • Pat the chicken dry before adding it to the marinade or the seasonings won't stick properly
  • Don't skip squeezing the water out of the cucumber or your sauce will be watery and sad
  • Let the grilled chicken rest for just a couple minutes before serving so the juices redistribute
03 -
  • Line your grill with foil for easier cleanup if you're making a big batch
  • A splash of red wine vinegar in the marinade adds another layer of flavor
