Citrus Chicken Marinade
Prep time: 
Total time: 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 lemons (or 4 tbsp lemon juice)
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
  1. Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons into a measuring up and add the remaining ingredients! I love using fresh squeezed lemons in this recipe, because the bits of pulp that end up in as well (I'm not very careful for this reason) add to the flavor!
  2. Pour over chicken - if you can reserve about ½ cup for juicing on the chicken when grilling it enhances the flavor (this recipe makes enough for 4 chicken breasts with some left over).
  3. Marinade for 4-6 hours, overnight if possible, for best results!
  4. When grilling, drizzle the remaining marinade over the chicken before serving.
