Ingredients
  

For the Greek Chicken Tenders
  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast tenders, patted dry
  • 0.5 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 3 medium garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 0.75 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
For Serving
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish
  • 1 medium lemon cut into wedges, optional, for serving
  • 0.5 cup prepared tzatziki optional, for serving

Method
 

Method
  1. Refrigerate leftover chicken within 2 hours of cooking. Store it in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  2. Reheat the tenders in a covered baking dish at 325°F (165°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the center reaches 165°F (74°C). Adding a teaspoon of water to the dish before covering can help prevent dryness. Individual portions may also be reheated in the microwave at reduced power.
  3. To freeze, cool the cooked chicken completely and place the tenders in a freezer-safe container with parchment between the layers. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Notes

Serve with tzatziki, pita bread, roasted potatoes, rice, or a crisp cucumber and tomato salad.
