CHICKEN BREAST FILLETS IN ROOT BEER MARINADE
Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade and add the chicken breasts. Marinate for approximately 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat a grill. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- To serve, place on a bun or plain bread and serve with French fries and a mug of root beer.
Tips:
- For best flavor, use a whole chicken and marinate it for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- If you don't have root beer, you can substitute cola or ginger ale. However, root beer gives the chicken a unique flavor that is hard to replicate with other sodas.
- Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you are using a crock pot, cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw.
