In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a zesty marinade. Add the chicken tenders, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor infusion.

While the chicken is marinating, place a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 2 minutes until shimmering but not smoking.

Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and carefully place them in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning only once to achieve a golden-brown crust.

After cooking, transfer the chicken tenders to a plate and let them rest for about 2 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
