  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken tenderloins and toss until they’re fully coated. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to soak up all those flavors.

  3. Place the chicken tenderloins on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, aiming for an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

Notes

Consider marinating the chicken overnight for more intense flavor. This dish pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables or a fresh side salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to maintain juiciness. Enjoy experimenting with different marinades like teriyaki or herb-infused options to vary the flavor.
