1-Getting started: Getting started with this Greek chicken tenders recipe is simple and rewarding, taking about 40 minutes from prep to plate. Begin by slicing 12 oz of boneless chicken breasts or tenders into thin strips for even marinating and cooking. The key is to whisk together the marinade using 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, ½ teaspoon crushed dried oregano, ½ teaspoon thyme, ½ teaspoon minced garlic, and optional salt and pepper, then let the chicken soak in it for at least 30 minutes or up to a day to lock in those authentic flavors.

2-First, gather all ingredients and prepare the marinade in a bowl for easy mixing.

3-Second, place the chicken strips in a shallow dish or bag, coat them evenly with the marinade, and refrigerate to enhance tenderness and taste.

4-Third, preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat, adjusting for dietary needs like gluten-free options by using clean tools.

5-Fourth, cook the marinated strips in 1 teaspoon olive oil for 7-10 minutes until they turn golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safety and juiciness.

6-Fifth, let the tenders rest briefly to keep the juices in before serving.
