# Preparation Steps:

01 - Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken tenders and toss thoroughly to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

02 - Mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until serving time.

03 - Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

04 - Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side until fully cooked through with nice char marks.

05 - Plate hot chicken tenders alongside yogurt sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs.

Squeezing every bit of moisture out of the grated cucumber is absolutely crucial or your sauce will end up watery and sad
Letting the chicken rest on the plate for just a couple minutes after grilling helps the juices redistribute instead of running out the first time you cut in

Pat the chicken dry before adding it to the marinade so the seasoning actually sticks instead of sliding right off
Let the grilled chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before serving so all those juices stay exactly where they belong
