Directions:
Use a shallow baking dish and mix all ingredients (except chicken) well. Add chicken and let marinate in fridge for at least a 1/2 hour. If you can let it sit overnight – even better!
Preheat your George Foreman rill for at least 5 minutes with the lid closed. Add marinated chicken breast tenderloins and close lid. Chicken breast tenderloins are generally no too big or thick so be sure to chek for doneness after about 3 minutes. Grill longer if still pink in the middle.
Remove from grill and let cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Then add to your favorite salad mix.
