Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and chopped

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice

  • 1 pound chicken breast tenders

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • olive oil-flavored cooking spray

Directions

  1. Combine oil, garlic, thyme, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Toss chicken in oil mixture. Set aside to marinate, about 5 minutes.

  2. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Cook chicken tenders until lightly brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
