Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Chicken Tenders

Marinate the Chicken by mixing the chicken breasts with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Preheat the Cooking Surface to medium-high (375°F for grilling) or 400°F for baking.
Make the Creamy Yogurt Sauce by combining Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, seasoning with salt and pepper, and stirring until smooth.
Cook the Chicken on the grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature is 165°F.
Serve and Enjoy by drizzling the creamy yogurt sauce over the chicken tenders and garnishing with fresh herbs or lemon slices.
