Description

This grilled chicken tenders recipe has incredible flavor thanks to a sweet citrus and soy marinade. Leftovers are perfect for salads and sandwiches.

Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (16 ounce) package boneless, skinless chicken tenders

Directions

1 Whisk water, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, brown sugar, and garlic together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken tenders and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
2 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3 Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
4 Place on the preheated grill; reduce heat to low. Grill for 1 minute; flip and grill until no longer pink in centers and the juices run clear, 4 to 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
