Foodie Fridays: The Best Chicken Marinade EVER!

We eat a lot of chicken in our house. And since I've been implementing a "cleaner diet" lately, we've also been eating a lot of salads, as well. This is, by far, the BEST chicken marinade I have ever used.

 

I just simply pour everything (including the chicken breasts) in a plastic bag, toss, and store in the fridge for a few hours - making sure to swish the bag around every hour or so to make sure the chicken breasts stay coated.

 

Then, we grill the chicken and put it atop a bed of lettuce, or just cut into bite-size pieces for the kiddos.

 

Seriously, this chicken is TO DIE FOR!

I use the grilled chicken for a salad - but the possibilities are endless.

You have to try this next time you need a variation to your normal, boring chicken dinner. I promise you will love this. :)

Enjoy!
