Easy Chicken Marinades

Easy Chicken Marinades! The best and easiest way to ensure you have tasty, juicy chicken breasts! I hope you try one of these marinades!

Who loves a good marinade? They are so incredibly easy to make so you have to try one of these the next time you have some chicken breast!

I have always preferred chicken thigh meat over chicken breast because it’s more tender and flavorful. “Both chicken thighs and breasts are good sources of lean protein. However, they differ in the amount of calories, fat and saturated fat. For example, a 3-ounce skinless, chicken breast provides about 140 calories, 3 grams of total fat and just 1 gram of saturated fat.

The same amount of dark chicken meat without the skin would provide three times the amount of fat for a total of 9 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat and 170 calories. This difference may not seem like much, but depending on the portion size it can add up.”

Easy Chicken Marinades

So, how can we make those chicken breasts more tender and flavorful? MARINADES!

Just grab your large zip top bags, or even a shallow baking dish, and go at it. Here are two recipes that I use and love. The flavor is delicious and incredibly juicy. If you want some heat, try this one.

Keyword: chicken, chicken marinade, chicken marinades, easy chicken marinades

Ingredients

Italian inspired Chicken Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 to 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh or dry basil chopped
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

For the Dijon Lemon Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 to 2 cloves fresh garlic sliced; optional
  • salt and pepper
  • lemon slices

Instructions

  • Add your chicken breast into a large gallon sized zip top bag and pour ingredients into the bag and mix around with your hands from the outside. Alternatively, you can mix together the marinade ingredients in the bag first and then carefully place your chicken breast inside. For the Dijon Lemon Marinade, place the lemon slices on top of the chicken and close the seal the bag closed, ensuring as much air has been released from the bag.
  • Place into the refrigerator for at least 1 to 3 hours, or overnight. Grill, pan fry, or air fry and enjoy!
