Marinated Chicken Breast

By: Laura

Do you ever get in a chicken breast slump? Well, I do, a lot.  Last week when I was planning my weekly menu, I saw that chicken breasts were on sale and I frowned to myself.  What was I going to do this time, the same old lame-o jame-o stuff?  No, I refused! So I went in search of a new recipe (here) and what I found was quite a treasure, not only was it delicious, it was quick and easy; not to mention, I could prep ahead of time.  Sound too good to be true, not so.  Check it out...

First, begin by marinating the chicken breast in olive oil, mustard, spices (of your choice),  vinegar (your choice, again), and garlic powder. Put all of this in a plastic bag and stick it in the fridge overnight. Easy, right?

The next day, at supper time, get the chicken breasts out of the bag and slap them on a hot grill.  

Then, cook the chicken for about 4-6 minutes on each side.

In the end, there is a delectable breast of chicken to eat right up with a little couscous on the side.
Really, it's easy, and you could do it any night of the week.  It's not hard to throw a bunch of ingredients in a plastic bag and pop them in the fridge.  Not only that, I'm guessing that all of the ingredients are in your fridge or pantry right now.  I also love that this recipe gives you options for the ingredients, you can make it your own, or just use what you have and it turns out great. The instructions also note that you can freeze the chicken in the marinade for up to two weeks!  Crazy!  So, give this a try tonight and get out of the chicken breast slump.  I know I'm out and I've got another excellent recipe coming your way later this week.
