Grilled Italian Chicken Tenders


This recipe came from my Mom.  She made these chicken tenders and couldn't wait to share the recipe with us.   The marinade is very simple, and you probably have everything on hand to make them tonight.  I let the chicken marinate overnight because that is easier for me.  I am always running late in the mornings and just don't have the time to prep for dinner.

The chicken was wonderful.  It smelled out of this world while it was grilling.   We couldn't wait to eat it.  We are so glad that "Mama Hen" shared this recipe with us!

1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 lb chicken tenders

Combine all ingredients except chicken tenders.  Mix well.  Pour over chicken tenders (I use a ziplock bag) and marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.  Grill until done (165 degrees).

If you don't have a grill & you're wanting to cook the chicken in the oven whats a good temperature & time setting?

Britt - bake them at 450 for about 15 minutes

Just learning how to cook and this looks super easy. Don't have an outdoor grill, but we have a George Foreman - hoping they turn out just as tasty!

Oh, I'm all over these. I bet they would be great on sub rolls with lettuce, tomato, onion and a little creamy Italian dressing. Thanks for the post.
