Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken tenderloins
  • 0.5 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, maple syrup, and balsamic vinegar to prepare the marinade.
  3. Place chicken tenderloins in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Arrange the marinated chicken tenderloins on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is no longer pink inside.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving hot.

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken longer for more flavor. Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
