Ingredients

  • 1 lb lb chicken tenders
  • 3/4 cup cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp tbsp tandoori spice blend
  • 2 cloves clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp tbsp fresh cilantro(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tandoori spice blend, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken tenders to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 10 minutes while you preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. 3

    Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top if available. Arrange the tenders in a single layer, shaking off excess marinade.

  4. 4

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and lightly charred at the edges.

  5. 5

    Rest for 2 minutes, garnish with cilantro if using, and serve with lemon wedges.
