Yes!! Another excuse to bust out the George Foreman Grill. Even though the weather was telling me otherwise. I went behind Mother Nature's back and grilled up some chicken tenders. Take that June gloom!!!! I still had that big bag of chicken tenders from Costco. Amazingly enough, I've almost gone through the whole bag. There's probably a few pieces left.
I decided on a slightly Mediterranean flavor to my tenders. Added some herbs and spices to some plain yogurt and marinated the chicken for an hour.
I made a simple dijon-mayo dip to go along. I was planning on a peanut sauce, but I didn't have enough ingredients to pull it off. Still a nice meal.
Serves 2.
Grilled Yogurt Marinated Chicken Tenders
6 large chicken tenders
3 oz plain greek yogurt.
1 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp dry rosemary
1 tsp dry thyme
1 tsp paprika
1 garlic clove (minced)
salt
pepper
Combine the yogurt, oregano, rosemary, thyme, paprika and garlic.
Season both sides the chicken tenders with salt and pepper, then pour over the marinade onto each pieces. Coating each one with the mixture. Set aside for at least 30min to 1 hour. This may be done in advance.
Preheat your grill.
When the grill is ready, cook the tenders 3-5 min per side. Get a nice browning on the crust.
Remove from grill and let it rest for 5 min.
Serve with some Dijon-May Dip.
Dijon-Mayo Dip
1Tbsp Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp Lite Mayo
Juice of half a lemon
Combine all three ingredients.
Love tha flavors that went into yogurt..delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteOOh, good one! These would be great in wraps too. I used to use my george foreman all the time, but now I have the cuisinart version. Its even better cause it has removeable and different plates that lets u do pancakes as well as grilling. I hate buying loads of kitchen gadgets cause it makes the kitchen look ugly when its all stuffed with things, but i couldn't be with out a griller of some kind :)
