Another quick and easy must-have marinade. Make a ton of these Herby Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Tenderloins and build meals all week! They are the perfect addition to so many of my salad recipes! (I’ll include toward the end)
I’ve mentioned this before but having delicious and doable protein recipes on hand is the key to macro friendly eating. If “hitting your protein” is hard, make sure to keep tasty lean ones stocked in your fridge! It makes all the difference and gives you ALL the control. Fill your tacos, wraps, and salads with more chicken and they’ll just be BETTER.
How to Make Herby Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Tenderloins
You’ll Need:
- Chicken tenderloins
- Olive oil (15 g)
- Red wine vinegar (30 g)
- Frozen garlic cubes (my favorite for ease!) or fresh cloves of garlic
- Non-fat Greek yogurt (30 g)
- Honey mustard (30 g)
- Dried garlic, dried rosemary, chives, kosher salt
- Dried thyme, oregano, cumin
- Onion powder
- Black pepper
Start by trimming any fat off your chicken. After that’s done you can whisk together all of the marinade ingredients and then dump them into a Ziploc or resealable container. Voila. That’s it. Just make sure to let them marinate in the fridge for about 1-2 hours.
Pre-heat and carefully oil your grill. Before the chicken goes on the grill, give it a fresh pinch of kosher salt and a little cracked pepper. Cook over high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165.

This is a weekly go to staple. The marinade is so easy to prep and gives the chicken great flavor and tenderness. I make a big batch at once and always have on hand for dinner or lunch in a variety of ways. Highly recommend!
Do you have a preferred honey mustard that you use?
What are some alternatives methods of cooking these? I don’t have a grill or air fryer.
Also, what is the white sauce you have with the chicken in the picture? Thank you so much and I look forward to making these!
