Ingredients
- 1-1.5 pounds chicken tenders, get the freshest chicken, I usually get organic or at least hormone-free, vegetarian fed chicken
- 5-9 sprigs dried (or fresh) Winter Savory herb, use less if fresh
- 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, washed, chopped, plus more for serving
- 1/4-1/2 cup olive oil, the more oil you use, the more juice you will have for serving
- 1-2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar, I use the best quality I can find and afford, from Modena, Italy
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, or amount to taste
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper medley, or amount to taste
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
Instructions
- In a baking dish mix all the marinade ingredients and coat the chicken tenders in it. Marinade chicken for at least a half-hour before cooking; you can also marinate for a few hours or overnight. The chicken tenders will only taste better the longer it is marinated.
- When the chicken tenders are done marinating, bake in a 425 degree F oven for 15-20 minutes. You can turn once halfway through (although I never bother to). Allow cooling 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
The safest way to check for doneness is by using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature of the chicken should be 165° Fahrenheit (75° Celsius).
