Ingredients
  

  • 450 g chicken tenders (about 8-10 pieces)

Notes

To amp up the flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mix for 30 minutes before grilling. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain moisture. For a healthier alternative, swap chicken tenders for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or use avocado oil instead of olive oil.
