Lemon Garlic Chicken
READ THIS FIRST: This recipe is very garlicked up-we're a garlic household. The fresh garlic keeps the sharpness, the granulated intensifies the garlic flavor, and the salt brings a bit more depth. You can use this on chicken or a white fish (like tilapia), but it works better with chicken. This is a marinade, so the flavor if tested should be VERY strong-if you taste test, you're really just looking for balance, as your chicken will obviously not be as strongly flavored. **This recipe is marked gluten-free, but please be sure to check your ingredients (especially your soy sauce) that they are marked "gluten-free" before you serve to anybody with dietary restrictions.
Ingredients
-
- 3 large chicken breasts
-
- 1/2 cup olive oil
-
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
-
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
-
- 1/2 tbsp granulated garlic
-
- 1/2 tbsp garlic salt
-
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Directions
- Trim and prepare your chicken breasts, cutting at least 3 slits into each piece.
- Add your olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, granulated garlic, garlic salt, and pepper to a marinading container (such as a tupperware), whisk all together until thoroughly blended.
- Spoon the blended marinade into the slits of the chicken breasts, and submerge into the marinade-be sure that the chicken is covered by more than just olive oil. Let rest in the refrigerater overnight if possible, but at minimum 30 minutes.
- Remove from the fridge, and grill your chicken (BBQ is best, but the chicken can be baked as well).
