Chicken Tenders

4 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for the grill pan 

1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 

1/4 teaspoon coriander 

1/4 teaspoon paprika 

1 clove garlic, minced

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 pound chicken tenders, about 8

2 Pita bread,  halved and warmed

Directions

Mix the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, oregano, coriander, paprika, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until fully blended. Add the chicken and mix to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Preheat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush oil over the pan. Place the tenders on the pan.

Grill the chicken until it is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should register 165 degrees F), about 4 minutes per side. Serve in pita bread halves with the cucumber sauce.
