Citrus-Soy Marinated Grilled Chicken Tenders
Citrus-Soy Marinated Grilled Chicken Tenders are juicy and flavorful, thanks to a bright lemon and soy marinade rounded out with brown sugar and garlic. Each bite balances tangy, lightly sweet notes with smoky char from the grill. Serve them hot for dinner with simple sides, or chill and slice for meal-prep salads, wraps, and sandwiches.

Place the chicken on the preheated grill; reduce the heat to low. Grill for 1 minute, then flip and grill until the centers are no longer pink and the juices run clear, 4 to 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
