I am horrible, I didn't take a picture... but bear with me!
You absolutely MUST try this marinade recipe.
For years, I have been trying to figure out how to cook chicken. I try to grill, boil (Yes, boil - not broil) and bake. Since I am so paranoid about having under-done meat, I usually end up cooking the crap out of it... and really, who likes totally dry - have to take a big drink with every bite - chicken?
It gets old.
Well, my sister's family bought Cory a subscription to EATING WELL for his Birthday this year. We got the first issue a couple of days ago and as I was flipping through, I noticed a recipe for a marinade... and we actually had all of the ingredients already in our pantry! I have NEVER used a marinade before. Does that make me weird?
So, I decided to give it a whirl... and WHOA MAMA! It was sooooo delicious!
I wanted to share the recipe with you because it's EASY PEASY!
BALSAMIC MARINADE
(Makes enough for 1 1/4 lb of chicken)
Whisk 1/4 c. each Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar, 2 minced Garlic Cloves, 1 T. Italian Seasoning, 1 tsp. Salt and 1/2 tsp Pepper
Place chicken in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it.
Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 1-12 hours.
(The longer it marinates, the more intense the flavor)
Grill on Med/High for 4-8 mins per side...
(only turn once!)
ENJOY!
And, since I didn't take a picture of the chicken, I'll leave you with a picture of my sweetie pie!
Have a wonderful weekend!

hahaha ... I'm looking in my blog subscription feed and I see your blog with the title "Mmmm Marinade" and then a picture of Eloise. No words or descriptions, just the title and the picture. It made me chuckle :)
ReplyDeleteI love love love balsamic vinegar, I'll have to try this recipe :)
Sounds good...I marinade chicken in salsa and it is really good on the grill. Do you have a George Foreman grill? I use for everything from chicken and pork to fresh fish. It cooks everything fast (and well done :)) and leaves the food very moist.
