Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken Tenders have a rich history dating back to the Mediterranean region, where the use of fresh herbs and citrus in cooking is a time-honored tradition. Renowned chefs like Jamie Oliver and Ina Garten have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The succulent tenders are marinated in a zesty blend of lemon juice, garlic, and aromatic herbs like rosemary and thyme, then grilled to juicy perfection. The best version of this dish can be found in cozy family-owned restaurants in the Mediterranean, where the tender chicken is served with a side of crisp, fresh salad and warm, fluffy pita bread. To make this dish shine, it's crucial to use high-quality, fresh ingredients and to marinate the chicken for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld. For a delicious alternative, consider pan-searing the chicken tenders for a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
