I have been in need of some healthy cooking ever since we got back from our summer trip. We had a blast visiting family in Minnesota but I think I consumed my weight in ice cream. I mean it is a must up there and I certainly did not want to deny my kids the opportunity to try out all my favorite ice cream shops. Thankfully I'm getting back into a routine with working out and cooking up some healthy dishes. This new recipe is loaded with healthy flavors like lemon, rosemary, and garlic. The chicken is grilled and you can serve it along with a fresh salad and rice if you need a carb. It also makes for great leftovers for a healthy lunch the next day. Lemon Rosemary Grilled Chicken Tenderloins are now on a weekly rotation in my home and will probably be until grill season wraps up.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Chicken Tenderloins (about 8 strips)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
- In a large ziplock bag place chicken tenders and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl place all the remaining ingredients and whisk together.
- Pour marinade over the chicken and seal the bag. Place in the fridge and let marinate 4-6 hours.
- Once the chicken has been marinated preheat your grill to medium heat. Cook your chicken over medium heat 3-5 minutes a side or until cooked all the way through. Serve and enjoy!
