lemon juice

garlic, (minced)

salt

thyme

oregano

black pepper

boneless, skinless chicken breasts

lemon, (thinly sliced)

paprika

garlic powder

onion powder

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, thyme, oregano and black pepper. Remove 3 tablespoons of the marinade and set aside in a small cup; cover and refrigerate.

Pour the remaining marinade into a large resealable bag; add chicken breasts to the bag.

Seal the bag; turn to coat and set aside for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Remove bag with chicken breasts from the fridge and let stand on kitchen counter for 12 to 15 minutes, while the oven preheats.

Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange lemon slices on the bottom of the baking dish. Set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder and onion powder.

Remove chicken breasts from the bag and lightly pat dry with paper towels. Discard marinade that&#039;s in the bag.

Sprinkle chicken breasts with prepared spice rub and set chicken breasts over lemon slices inside the baking dish.

Drizzle reserved marinade over the chicken breasts.

Cover with foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165˚F.

Optionally, remove the cover several minutes before the chicken is cooked through and set it under the broiler to get a bit of browning on top.

Remove from oven; remove cover and let stand 5 to 8 minutes before cutting.

BEST Chicken Marinade Recipe (W/ Video)

½ cup Stonyfield Organic Whole Milk Yogurt

lemons

lemon

Extra virgin olive oil

garlic cloves, minced

tsp Dry Oregano

tsp Dry mint

tsp Cumin

Coriander

Paprika

Nutmeg

Kosher salt and black pepper

parsley,

lb boneless chicken breast cutlets (see notes)

Prepare the yogurt marinade

Place yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest and extra virgin olive oil in a mixing bowl or large measuring cup like this one. Add garlic, dried oregano and mint, cumin, coriander, paprika, and nutmeg. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste (a large pinch to your liking). Finally, add in fresh chopped parsley.

Give everything a good whisk or mix until the marinade is well combined.

Marinate the chicken

Place chicken pieces in large (gallon size) zip-top bag. Pour the marinade on top. Zip the bag shut. Massage the bag so that the chicken is well-coated with the marinade. Place the bag on a baking sheet so that the chicken sits flat in a single layer in the bag. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight (if you don’t have the time, even 30 minutes will make a difference.)

When ready, remove chicken from the bag, and before you cook it, give it just a bit of a shake to remove excess marinade. You have several options for cooking. In this recipe, I pan-seared the chicken (but you can grill or bake as well.)

Pan-cooked chicken cutlets

Heat 2 to 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking. Add chicken tenders to the pan (make sure to shake off any excess marinade before adding chicken to the pan.) Cook on one side undisturbed for 5 minutes until browned. Using a pair of tongs, turn chicken over and cook on other side for another 5 minutes or until chicken is done.

For grilled chicken breast cutlets

Heat an outdoor grill to medium-high and be sure to oil the grates very well. Grill chicken for 5 minutes on one side, then turn over and cook another 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is fully done (internal temperature should register 165 degrees F.)

For baked chicken breast cutlets

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a baking dish with some extra virgin olive oil (make sure there is enough oil so the chicken does not stick.) Arrange chicken in one single layer (do not crowd.) Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 10 minutes covered, then uncover and bake another 8 to 10 minutes or so. Watch carefully. This can take less or more time depending on the thickness of your chicken breast cutlets. Remove from heat. Let chicken breasts rest (cover with foil or another pan) for 5 minutes or so.

I always struggle with making a good chicken, but thanks to this recipe it never fails again! Always so soft and juicy! I cut the chicken breast in cubes, marinate for a couple of hours or a day and cook in the pan on medium heat. So delicious!

I made this as instructed in the recipe.  It tasted so bland and like plain yogurt. 

I made this because I wanted to try a different marinate as opposed to italian dressing. I didn't have the yogurt, so I used almond milk. I used bone-in chicken breasts and I cooked it in my air fryer. It was so moist and  juice and FULL of flavor. This was one of the BEST marinades. I must admit, I used dried herbs (because thats what I had on hand) instead of fresh, but the flavor was phenomenol. All the herb flavors came through. Definitly a go to recipe from now on.?

This was absolutely delicious!  I didn’t have all the spices so I just substituted with what I did have. The yogurt makes the chicken tender and adds a lot of flavor. I will be making this often.

I made this for family that came to visit, what a hit!! My Aunt said it’s to die for &amp; she is right!! I will be making this all the time now! Thank you so much for sharing ?

This really is delicious. Made  boneless chicken thighs and cook on the charcoal grill then served with tzatziki sauce.

I made this last week and my husband grilled the chicken.  It was phenomenal!  The chicken was so tender and moist. You mention potentially using harissa in the marinade.  How much would you use with the yogurt?  (Its tour harissa recipe which is out of this world!)

5 Easy Chicken Marinade Recipes made healthy, with simple ingredients you have on hand right now and without a food processor. Say good-bye to dry and boring chicken and hello to juicy and flavorful healthy and lean chicken meat!

5 Easy Chicken Marinade Recipes

tbsp honey or maple syrup

lime (juice of)

tsp chilli powder

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

lemon (juice of)

tbsp rosemary (dried

red pepper flakes

maple syrup

soy sauce (I used Bragg’s liquid aminos)

tbsp rice vinegar

garlic (grated)

tsp fresh ginger (grated)

yogurt or buttermilk

Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir.

Pick flat container, baking dish or reusable silicone bag so chicken can lay flat for maximum flavor penetration.

Place chicken in a container, pour marinade over and mix to coat well.

Marinating time is anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours. Longer marinating time means more flavor but I wouldn&#039;t marinate past 24 hours because acid will cause flesh to break down.

When ready to cook, remove chicken from marinade and cook as per recipes.

Best Chicken Marinade Recipe

Worcestershire sauce

smoked paprika

Kosher salt

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to combine all the ingredients. The marinade can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week before use.

Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 350-400 degrees F. Grill the chicken for 4-6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Cannot tell you how many chicken marinade recipes for grilling that I have tried. . .don't like my chicken sweet, but I tried many with brown sugar or honey. . .not my favorites.  I am Greek and so the Mediterranean, Greek Souvlaki flavors really appeal to me.  I prepared the marinade  exactly as it was written. . .made no change whatsoever. This is hands down, the VERY BEST GRILLED CHICKEN MARINADE I have ever tried. . .grilled outside for the first time last week using chicken breasts, and am now preparing the THIS MARINADE for grilling chicken breasts again later this evening.  I especially like the fact that it can be used with other meats, as I will surely try it for my pork chops and my beef/pork/chicken skewers with veggies. Thanks so much for your wonderful recipe and for its versatility. . .I challenge anyone to come up with a better recipe than this. . .LOVED IT!!!

These simple, delicious Balsamic Chicken Marinade Recipe adds amazing flavor and juiciness to your chicken breasts!

Balsamic Chicken Marinade Recipe

water

dark brown sugar

rosemary (, minced)

coarse sea salt

chicken breasts

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/2  cup  water,  1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4  cup dark brown sugar, minced 3-4 cloves fresh garlic , minced 1 tablespoon  fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt  until the sugar dissolves. Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade before adding the raw chicken.  Set aside for basting.

Place the 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts  in a shallow baking dish or pan. Remove any excess fat and pat dry with paper towels. Pour the balsamic marinade over the chicken, turning over to ensure all sides are coated with the glaze. Cover and marinade for 1-24 hours. I don&#39;t recommend marinating longer than 24 hours to avoid a change in texture.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 350°F) and oil the grates. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard extra marinade.

Cook on indirect heat for 20-25 minutes, turning, occasionally, or until internal temperture of chicken reaches 165°F. Right before removing from the grill, baste with the 1/3 cup reserved marinade over direct heat to get a nice char. Cooking times will vary greatly depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

Remove and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Top with chopped parsley as a garnish, if desired.
