Grilled Chicken Marinade

Chicken is a great main entree and can be made so many ways. Over the last few years, I’ve shared several grilled chicken marinades with different flavors such as Grilled Marinated Chicken with Apple Salsa or Cilantro Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa. A good marinade is an easy way to have a tasty entree.

Today’s recipe is an easy chicken marinade that is perfect to grill or bake in the oven. You’ll find it makes a perfectly tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken every time. I’m using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but it works well with all chicken parts.
