Striscioline di pollo alla griglia

Ingredienti

• 2 pounds chicken tenders ((or skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips))
• Salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, (minced)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon oregano, (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon rosemary, (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon parsley, (chopped)
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper (to taste )

Preparazione

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F/190-205℃).

2. 2

   Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well for your marinade.

3. 3

   Place the chicken tenders in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, coating all pieces evenly. Allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes to enhance the flavors. You can also marinate it overnight in the refrigerator for optimal flavor.

4. 4

   Once the grill is hot, lightly grease the grates to prevent sticking. You can use cooking spray or a brush dipped in oil.

5. 5

   Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade, shaking off excess marinade and large particles.

6. 6

   Place the chicken tenders directly on the grill grates. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked through. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C). Be mindful of the fact that cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the tenders.

7. 7

   Remove them from the grill and put them on a plate. Then let your chicken tenders rest for about 5 minutes. That allows the juices to redistribute for moist and tender results.

8. 8

   Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added freshness.

9. 9

   Serve the grilled chicken tenders as a main dish alongside your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, salad, or rice.
