Grilled Chicken Marinade
This 4-ingredient marinade is coming to the rescue when you can’t take one more bite of bland, boring chicken. Before that chicken goes on the skillet, the grill, or in the oven, douse it in this mega flavor (and still really healthy) marinade and your taste buds will be so happy.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce tamari for gluten-free
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice the juice from about 4 lemons
- 4 cloves garlic grated
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 3 pounds chicken breasts
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a large bag or bowl (big enough to fit your chicken in).
- Stir (or shake, if you’re using a bag) the marinade until it’s well mixed.
- Submerge the chicken in the marinade and let it sit for 1-2 hours.
Notes
You can definitely freeze chicken in a marinade – this is actually a really incredible make ahead trick! The only caveat here is that you’ll want to make sure that your chicken hasn’t been submerged in the marinade for more than 2 hours before heading into the freezer.
To freeze your chicken in the marinade, simply make the marinade in a freezer safe bag (silicone or plastic), place the chicken in the bag, and seal the bag, getting out as much air as possible. Stick it in the freezer for up to 3 months, and when you’re ready to enjoy, simply place the bag in the fridge overnight to slowly thaw.
