Pat the chicken tenders dry to remove any excess liquid and remove the tendons with a fork. Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper and stir to combine evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
When ready to grill, preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the chicken tenders on the grill, being careful not to overlap them. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken tenders from the grill and allow the chicken to rest for a couple minutes before serving.
