Description

A quick and easy air fryer or grilled chicken tenderloin recipe that has so much flavor from a simple marinade.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 5 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Juice and zest and one lemon
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 20 ounces chicken tenderloins

Instructions

Air Fryer Instructions:

  1. Whisk the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper together in a flat container (with a lid). Place the chicken in the marinade and spoon some of the marinade over the top. Cover the container and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Preheat air fryer at 400 degrees for 4 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray then add chicken in one layer (you may need to work in batches). Shake off excess marinade and discard. Air fry for 4 minutes, flip over and air fry for 3 more minutes. Use an instant read thermometer to see if the chicken is cooked through (they’re finished cooking when the internal temperature reaches 165 F.) Some thicker pieces may take longer while some thinner pieces may take less time.
  3. Use tongs to move chicken to a plate. Serve and enjoy!

Grill Instructions:

  1. Whisk the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper together in a flat container (with a lid). Place the chicken in the marinade and spoon some of the marinade over the top. Cover the container and refrigerate overnight.
  2. When ready to grill, remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium heat (about 375 degrees F). Oil the grill, then place the chicken tenders on the grill in a single layer without overlapping them, shaking off any excess marinade (discard remaining marinade). Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until the juices run clear and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.
