Greek Lemon Chicken Tenders

Chicken tenders are so versatile!  Buffalo them, Parmesan them, make them crispy, sauté them, bake, grill… the list goes on and on.

Tonight, it was rather simple – a dash of Oregano, salt & pepper, lemon juice and zest, and red pepper flakes. I finished with a sprinkling of feta cheese and served over grilled asparagus.
