Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins boneless skinless
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• ¼ teaspoon fresh grated lime zest
• 1 clove garlic crushed
• ½ teaspoon oregano
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Instructions

 

• 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 grill 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.
• Serve with your favorite salad mix.
