Lemon Pepper Chicken Tenders


 

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast tenders, 20 pieces
• 20 (6-inch) bamboo party skewers
• 2 lemons, juiced and zested
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
• Coarse black pepper
• Coarse salt

Directions

Heat the grill over medium high heat. Skewer chicken. In a shallow dish, combine lemon zest and juice with extra-virgin olive oil. Reserve 1/4 of the marinade. Coat chicken tenders in marinade and season generously on both sides with coarse black pepper. Season chicken tenders lightly with salt. Cook tenders in 2 or 3 batches, a single layer, in a very hot grill. Chicken tenders will cook 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a serving platter and brush with the reserved marinade.

Totally make these constantly during the summer! My entire family loves them. Granted I have to make like 5 different flavors but it's worth it. I love the Lemon. My SO likes BBQ and my SO's daughter likes them with italian dressing. I usually make a few asia inspired flavored ones too. But they are quick and super easy.
