Ingredients

for the Lemon Garlic Sauce

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl whisk together the honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the juice from 1/2 lemon, sea salt, garlic powder and paprika. Add the chicken breast tenders and make sure to coat them all over. Allow them to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Heat up a cast iron grill pan on medium low flame and grill the chicken for a couple of minutes on each side until nice grill marks form and the chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm. Keep a close eye on them as chicken tenders cook quickly.
  • Meanwhile make the lemon garlic sauce. Heat up a small sauce pan on low flame. Add a lug of olive oil and the grated garlic. Stir well and allow the garlic to cook for just a minute until you can smell it release its aroma and barely start to get a faint golden color. Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon and stir well. Simmer for about a minute or so and remove from heat. Season to taste with sea salt.
  • Pour the lemon garlic sauce over the grilled chicken breast and garnish with the parsley and lemon slices . Serve hot with a nice potato salad.
