Pin This RecipeWe are both big fans of Greek food, so when I saw this recipe on Tasty Kitchen, I knew it would be a hit. The best part about this recipe is that the marinade doesn’t use any special/fancy ingredients – a huge plus for me! The chicken took no time to make and packed a lot of great flavors. The original recipe suggested serving the chicken with a tzatziki sauce. I decided to skip the tzatziki sauce this time and serve the chicken tenders over some orzo and marinara sauce. It reminded me of the Greek Chicken Marinara at Zoes Kitchen, one of my favorites! I can’t wait to make this again.
As I said, these Grilled Oregano and Lemon Chicken Tenders were a huge hit at our house. We ate them for dinner twice last week! We usually double the recipe so we can eat leftovers on a salad or in a sandwich wrap. Any way you choose to eat this chicken, I promise it will be a hit!

I have lots of fresh oregano in my garden. How much should I substitute for the dried oregano?
The standard fresh to dried substitution is 3 times fresh to dry. So, that would make this 6 Tbsp of fresh oregano
That's a heavy meal but it surely yummy. I'll save this recipe for this weekend. Have you add an onion powder?
Made this tonight…UNREAL!!!! So good! I will be making this many more times now that "grilling season" has begun!
looks so yummy…and love chicken
All of the oregano just clinging to the grilled tenders looks beautiful.
I have been meaning to try chicken tenders on the grill. Now I know how. Thanks.
