It’s that time of year, everyone is working to eat cleaner. Chicken breasts are a great source of high-quality protein but preparing them the same old way can became boring.
I wanted to share a technique that I have been using for many years that allows me to get dinner on the table in a hurry without sacrificing variety.
Forgive the shadowing pics, it was late on a gloomy day when I shot these. Start by slicing chicken breast in half to create meal sized portions.
Next, get out 3-gallon zip top bags and all of the ingredients to create the 3 chicken marinade recipes below.
Add chicken to the bags and marinate for 2 hours, overnight or stow in the freezer until needed!

Lori, I’m not sure about the cooking instruction.
Hi Christine!
The recipe was for the marinade only. To cook, just place in a grill pan until you have color on both sides, about 5 minutes each and then into an oven set to 350 until chicken is done, about 12 minutes. OR simply place in a glass baking dish and into the oven set to 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Enjoy!
Lorie, you can freeze chicken in marinade?
Yes! For best results, put the chicken in the refrigerator to get very cold before you freeze! Happy cooking!
