EASY ITALIAN CHICKEN MARINADE



Easy Italian Chicken Marinade image

This recipe is great on grilled chicken! The vinegar helps create a tender meat, so the longer it marinates, the better. A favorite of mine is to grill chicken using this, slice it into strips, and serve with pasta (this goes great with my "Béchamel (White Sauce)" recipe!). This marinade tastes just as good without the Montreal Chicken Seasoning, so if you're out of it, don't stress!

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 5m

Yield 1/4 cup, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons vinegar (apple cider works well)
1 tablespoon Montreal chicken seasoning
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl until combined.
  • Completely cover each chicken breast with marinade. Store in gallon-size ziplock baggies, Tupperware containers, or other sealable, air-tight container. Marinate chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. These cuts of chicken are tender and flavorful, and they cook evenly in the marinade.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so be sure to use a blend of ingredients that you enjoy. The recipe provided in the article is a great starting point, but you can also experiment with other herbs, spices, and citrus fruits to create your own unique marinade.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate it for at least 2 hours, or even overnight.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: When cooking the chicken, be sure to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. You can cook the chicken in a skillet, on a grill, or in the oven.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Italian chicken is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include pasta, rice, roasted vegetables, and salad.

Conclusion:

Italian chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and juicy chicken dish that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Italian chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
