Hey there reader!
Today, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite grilled chicken breast marinades that you can make at home. Whether it's summer and we are grilling outside or in the dead of winter and I'm using my beloved grill pans, I always have marinated chicken breasts in the freezer.
Making homemade marinades has become a go-to for me since I was diagnosed with celiac disease, as it means I don't have to worry about any weird ingredients found in store-bought marinades. Plus, it's more cost-effective than purchasing organic marinades.
👉 Before we dive into the recipes, I'd like to share some things I love about making homemade chicken marinades:
✅ You can freeze the chicken breast ahead of time in the marinade. This means you can prep a bunch of chicken breasts ahead of time and freeze to use throughout the summer or whenever. If you haven't done that yet, I highly recommend it. Freezing chicken breasts in marinade creates a super flavorful and tender grilled chicken breast.
✅ You can leave the sweetener out if you want a keto-friendly marinade. Some of my marinades include honey or another sweetener. This adds to the flavor but you can certainly leave it out if you want sugar-free. Personally, I don't like artificial sweeteners so I can't attest to whether those will work or not.
✅ You can use chicken breasts or thighs. Bone-in or out. These marinades will work with any cut of chicken the only thing that will be different is the cooking time. Remember the internal temperature needs to read 165 degrees to be considered safe to eat.
✅ Grilled chicken breasts are versatile. Use it on salads, wraps, or rice, or eat with a side of veggies.
✅ Make extra to have during the week. I love having cooked grilled chicken in my refrigerator or freezer to throw on salads throughout the week.
Here are five of my favorite chicken marinades that are super tasty:
- Greek Marinade
- Sweet and Spicy Asian Marinade
- Honey Mustard
- Italian Marinade
- Chipotle Marinade
I hope you enjoy trying out these chicken marinades! If you make any of them, please share a in the Facebook group.
