Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon balm: Fresh lemon balm leaves provide the best flavor for the marinade and salad dressing. If you can't find fresh lemon balm, you can use dried lemon balm, but reduce the amount you use by half.
  • Don't over-marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken for too long can make it tough. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: Grilling the chicken over medium heat will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving will help it retain its juices.
  • Use the marinade as a salad dressing: The marinade can also be used as a salad dressing. Simply whisk in a little extra olive oil and vinegar to taste.

Conclusion:

This lemon balm marinade and salad dressing is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your favorite chicken dishes. The marinade is perfect for grilled or roasted chicken, and the salad dressing is a great way to add a refreshing touch to your favorite salads. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, this lemon balm marinade and salad dressing is sure to please.
