Old Faithful: My Never-Fail Chicken Recipe
I’m no chef. A personal chef is actually on my wish list. Just like I wish I could be a morning person, I so wish I loved to cook. But I cook because I have to, and in doing so, have a few tasty but easy recipes up my sleeve. Who doesn’t need another chicken recipe? (Well, maybe vegetarians. But you know what I’m sayin’.)
Super Simple Sweet Chicken Marinade
Ingredients
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Honey
Soy sauce
Canola oil
Cook’s note: You’ll notice that I have no amounts here because I’ve found that you can’t really mess up. Use roughly 1/4 c of oil and 1/3 c each of honey and soy sauce for about four chicken breasts, and add and subtract as you wish based on the amount of chicken you have.
Directions
1. Bash the chicken breasts with a meat mallet to your desired thinness.
2. Mix honey, soy sauce and canola in the bottom of a 9-x-13 pan or in a plastic storage bag.
3. Add chicken to marinade. Marinate for a couple of hours or overnight; overnight is ideal.
4. Grill chicken until done.
This seriously makes one moist and flavorful chicken breast. You can eat the chicken on its own (quinoa and a veggie make great sides), as a sandwich, or use as protein in your version of a big-ass salad. Delish!
Do you have any super-simple marinade ideas to share? A go-to dish that you always fall back on? I’d love to add to my recipe book! —Erin
