R: Favorite chicken marinade???

[piratesmate]

I have a bunch of boneless chicken that I want to freeze in ziplock bags with marinade. I'll probably grill most of it, but that's not a pre-req for the recipe. I'm just looking for something different.

These are the recipes I usually use:
Durban Spiced Chicken - from Boma's
Rosemary Chicken
White Meat Marinade - from Ohana's

TIA!

Here's our all time favorite...

Cajun Marinade

1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup vinegar
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 teaspoon leaf oregeno
1 teaspoon leaf thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground hot red pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Mix ingredients in a jar and shake to blend. Great on chicken and veggies!

I just found this one at EatChicken.com, thought it sounded good & wanted to share.

Triple Citrus Chicken Breasts

Serves 6

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1 tsp grated orange zest
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 TBL chives, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 TBL fresh lime juice
2 TBL fresh lemon juice
1 TBL honey
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 TBL vegetable oil
2 TBL heavy cream

Between two layers of plastic wrap, pound chicken breasts with meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Place chicken in large, self-sealing plastic bag.

In medium bowl, whisk together lemon zest, orange zest, garlic, chives, salt, pepper, lime juice, lemon juice, honey and balsamic vinegar. Pour into bag, over chicken. Close bag securely and turn to distribute marinade. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or as long as 24 hours, turning occasionally.

Remove chicken from bag. Shake excess marinade into bag and reserve.

In large, heavy, nonstick skillet over high heat, warm oil. Saute chicken until browned, about 2 - 3 minutes per side. Lower heat to medium and continue cooking until chicken is done, about 2 more minutes per side. Transfer to serving platter and cover to keep warm.

Pour reserved marinade into skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Scrape the bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add any liquid that has collected around chicken and let mixture boil for 2 minutes, until slightly thickened and reduced. Stir in cream; cook for another minute.

Pour hot sauce over chicken breasts. Garnish with slices of lime, lemon or orange.

I made this for a summer dinner party last year...it was terrific and made great leftovers. It was a little lemony, so next time I might decrease the lemon juice and add more honey:


Grilled Honey-Lemon Chicken Breasts

6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1.Place chicken breasts in shallow glass dish. Mix onion, lemon juice, oil, honey and soy sauce in small bowl.
Pour 1/2 cup marinade over chicken; turn to coat. Cover dish and marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or
refrigerate up to 4 hours.
2.Pour remaining marinade into small saucepan. Boil until slightly reduced and thickened, about 2 minutes;
reserve for glaze.
3.Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush grill rack with oil. Remove chicken from marinade, drain well.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill chicken until cooked through, brushing occasionally with reserved
marinade glaze, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to serving platter and serve.

Serves 6.

Ok I cheat ........ Cardinis Roasted Garlic and Herb! OUTSTANDING! John loves this so much that I make extra chicken breasts for chicken sandwhiches for work!

Greek Salad dressing........also works like a charm Is good on pork as well!

Sorry that I don't have measurements, but this is what I like on chicken. Well, it's pretty good on a steak also!

5-6 good dashes of soy sauce
1 dash of Worcester sauce
fresh ground pepper
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. fresh garlic (can use garlic powder)
a dash or two of Lawry's seasoned salt

If I am going to grill the chicken I put about a tablespoon of oil in the mixture about 5 minutes before grilling. This recipe is good for about 2 – 4 chicken breasts or two ribeye steaks.
