Chicken Breast Recipes

The marinade is a must for kebobs.  Marinating the meat soaks the flavor into all the pores of the chicken breast and also makes the meat more tender and succulent.  I have the Foodsaver marinating container which makes anything and everything taste fantastic.  So I usually put things in that to marinade or a Ziploc bag so there is less clean up.  Here a really simple skinless chicken breast recipe that anyone can do.

1 c Honey
1 chopped onion
2 Tbsp chili powder
1/3 c Tabasco sauce
½ c teriyaki sauce
1 tsp salt
1 c sugar
2 fresh peppers
Juice from 1 lemon

Throw all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and turn on, it should become a nice puree, but it’s okay to have some lumps, My onion hardly ever purees completely.  Then if you have yet cut your chicken breasts into cubes and throw them in a Ziploc or pan and add the marinade and stir or shake.  Put in fridge overnight or at least 8 hours.

Another marinade you can try for kabobs or just grilling is:

½ c beer
2 garlic cloves, sliced (or you can use about 1-2 Tbsp garlic powder)
¼ c vinegar
½ an onion, finely chopped
¼ c brown sugar
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
BBQ sauce

I just throw all this into a Zip loc bag and add BBQ sauce to make it a little thinner, add my meat and let it soak overnight.  Then I stick it on skewer or if I left them as whole breast I just throw them straight on the grill.

Another one that I do which isn’t so much a recipe as it’s just throwing stuff together but I still like it:

1 c vinegar
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Seasonings

I just add the liquid and then just throw in whatever seasoning sound good.  Good ones our garlic, onion, oregano, poultry seasoning, Accent, pepper, salt, ginger (if you use this ½ tsp is plenty,) Italian seasoning, or just about anything you want!  Then I marinade it overnight and get it on the skewers.  Before I take it out to the grill I will sprinkle parmesan cheese on the chicken and then it’s ready and always turns out delicious.
