Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb. chicken tenders
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp chipotle seasoning omit if you don’t want these to be spicy
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Add chicken to a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir the spices and olive oil together, then scoop mixture over the chicken and toss to combine. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours. Bring chicken to room temperature before cooking.
- Heat grill over medium heat. Then, add the tenders and cook for 4 minutes, then flip over and cook for an additional 4 minutes. NOTE: remove chicken from the heat, then check the internal temperature to confirm they’re cooked through. Enjoy!
