Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: Makes about 1 cup of marinade
Skinless, boneless chicken breasts can dry out quickly on the grill. This chicken breast marinade helps solve this problem by mixing a little vinegar with a good dose of olive oil. This creates a barrier between the chicken and the hot cooking grate so you can keep your chicken tender and moist without it drying out.
Ingredients:
• 3/4 cup/180 mL olive oil
• 2 tablespoons/30 mL balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoon/10 mL salt
• 2 teaspoon/10 mL white sugar
• 1 teaspoon/5 mL dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon/5 mL dried basil
• 1 teaspoon/5 mL onion powder
• 1 teaspoon/5 mL garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon/5 mL black pepper
• 1 teaspoon/5 mL red pepper flakes (optional)
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into a zip-top bag and add chicken breasts. Marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
This is enough marinade for 4 to 6 chicken breasts.
