Description

This flavorful chicken marinade recipe is perfect for grilling or baking. It adds a delicious blend of herbs, spices, and citrus to your chicken, making it juicy and tender with a fantastic taste.


Ingredients

Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, basil, and black pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or dish, pour the marinade over them, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat grill or oven to medium-high heat. Grill or bake the chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 6-7 minutes per side.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for several hours or overnight.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste preferences.
