LEMON GARLIC MARINADE FOR CHICKEN



Lemon Garlic Marinade for Chicken image

I'm not sure where I got this recipe but it is very good. I usually throw some chicken breasts in a ziploc bag and add this marinade and then freeze. All I have to do for a quick meal is thaw and toss on the grill. This makes enough marinade for about 1-1.5 pounds of chicken breasts. Cooking time reflects marinating time.

This simple all-purpose Garlic Marinated Chicken is great to add to sandwiches, salads, pasta dishes, and more!

Provided by Beth - Budget Bytes

Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup olive oil ($0.52)
1/4 cup lemon juice ($0.18)
3 cloves garlic, minced ($0.24)
1/2 Tbsp dried oregano ($0.15)
1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)
Freshly cracked pepper ($0.05)
1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts ($5.37)

Steps:

  • Add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to a bowl or a large zip top bag. Stir the ingredients in the dish until combined.
  • If using breasts, fillet each chicken breast into two thinner pieces. Place the chicken in the bag or in a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over top, making sure the chicken pieces are completely covered in marinade. Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours (refrigerated), turning occasionally to maximize the chicken's contact with the marinade.
  • When ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium. Transfer the chicken from the marinade to the hot skillet and cook on each side until well browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes each side, depending on the size of the pieces). Cook two pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding the skillet, which can cause juices to pool and prevents browning. Discard the excess marinade.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken from the skillet to a cutting board and let rest for five minutes before slicing and serving.

Easy Grilled Chicken With Citrus Marinade image

This easy grilled chicken recipe is a fast track to dinner. This grilled chicken breast is never dry, thanks to a marinade that's sourced from the pantry.

Provided by Kendra Vaculin

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large shallots, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
¼ cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1½ lb.)

Steps:

  • Whisk 2 large shallots, finely chopped, 4 garlic cloves, finely grated, ⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil, ¼ cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar, 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice, 1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt, 1 tsp. sugar, and ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper in a medium bowl to combine. Set ⅓ cup marinade aside.
  • Arrange 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1½ lb.) in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour remaining marinade over chicken and turn to coat. Cover dish and chill, turning chicken halfway through, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip back into dish; discard marinade in dish. Grill chicken, turning halfway through, until cooked through and blackened grill marks appear, 10-14 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve chicken with reserved marinade spooned over.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality olive oil. The quality of the olive oil you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the chicken. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is made from olives that were harvested early in the season. This will give the oil a more robust flavor.
  • Use a variety of garlic. Don't just use one type of garlic. Try using a combination of different types, such as regular garlic, black garlic, and roasted garlic. This will give the chicken a more complex flavor.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavor it will absorb. If you can, marinate the chicken for overnight.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. Cooking the chicken over high heat will make it tough and dry. Cook it over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Chicken marinated in garlic oil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and juicy chicken dish that your whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook chicken, give this recipe a try.
