ARMENIAN HERB MARINADE GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS

This is THE most AWESOME grill marinade I've ever tasted in my life! I don't know where my Mom got this, but there is no match that I've ever known of...it is simplicity and freshness, yet rich, robust and succulent! I haven't told you this one yet, because I was entering it in a grilling contest for a Weber grill, but I can't hold back any longer! It is wonderful for chicken breasts and also for lamb. My Mom used to make chicken and lamb kabobs with this marinade and we always wanted more!!! NOTE: Prep time does not include the 24-48 hours marinating time. UPDATE: My grill has died....So in desperation to taste this chicken again, I tried Bobo3039's suggestion about baking it in a 350 degree oven...Results were wonderful!!! (Still missed that charcoal essence, but one must "roll with the punches" and make do...In this case, Bobo3039 was right on the money!)

Time 6h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup cooking oil or 1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup tomato juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup snipped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a zip lock bag.
  • Place lamb, pork, beef, or chicken into bag, press out air& seal.
  • Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours to overnight, turning bag occasionally.

Tips:

  • Choose the right herbs: The herbs you use for your marinade will depend on your personal preferences and the type of meat you are marinating. Some popular herbs for Armenian marinades include basil, cilantro, parsley, thyme, and oregano.
  • Use fresh herbs whenever possible: Fresh herbs will give your marinade the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount since they are more concentrated.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to making an Armenian marinade. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste.
  • Give the marinade time to work: The longer you marinate the meat, the more flavorful it will be. For best results, marinate the meat for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Cook the meat over a moderate heat: When cooking the marinated meat, be sure to cook it over a moderate heat so that the marinade has time to penetrate the meat and cook through.

Conclusion:

Armenian herb marinades are a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your meat. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will make your meat succulent and flavorful. Whether you are grilling, roasting, or pan-frying your meat, an Armenian herb marinade is sure to please.
