Grilled Chicken Tenders with Avocado-Lime Yogurt Sauce

Perfectly seasoned grilled chicken tenders served with a creamy, tangy avocado-lime yogurt sauce. Paired with quinoa and steamed broccoli for a complete, healthy meal.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs chicken breast tenders

Seasoning:

• 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Avocado-Lime Yogurt Sauce:
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
• Sides:
• 2 cups cooked quinoa
• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets

Instructions

1. Preheat grill to 375°F.
2. Season chicken tenders with garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
3. Grill for 12-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until internal temp reaches 165°F.
4. While chicken cooks, blend avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt until smooth and creamy.
5. Steam broccoli florets until fork-tender (about 5-7 minutes).
6. Serve grilled chicken tenders over quinoa with steamed broccoli, drizzled or dipped in the avocado-lime sauce.

Notes

The avocado sauce is best made fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning. This works great on any grill or even in a grill pan indoors.
