Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium lemon
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders
2/3 cup chopped parsley (I use 1 tbsp dried flakes instead of fresh with good results)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon shallot, chopped (about 1/2 shallot)
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 medium lemon, sliced (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat grill.
  • Zest the whole lemon (yellow part only) and add to a large mixing bowl. Squeeze lemon and mix in about 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, oil, salt, pepper, garlic and sugar. Lay chicken in marinade. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for sauce, puree parsley, oil, shallot, garlic, vinegar, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor until there are no lumps. Reserve.
  • Take chicken out of marinade and arrange on hot grill. Cook 4 minutes, turn chicken and cook another 3 to 5 minutes, chicken should be fully cooked through to the center. Arrange chicken on a serving platter, spoon sauce over or serve on the side. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
