Description

The Best Chicken Marinade recipe that works with grilled chicken (or any kind of chicken). Flavorful and simple ingredients!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. Whisk to combine. 
  3. Pour over chicken and let marinate for at least 30 minutes. 
  4. Cook chicken however you want (we love grilled chicken breasts). 

Notes

  • Paleo/Whole30: use coconut aminos, instead of soy sauce and omit the worcestershire sauce.
  • Other ways to cook: smoked chicken breasts are also delicious! 
  • Make Ahead: this is an easy recipe to make ahead of time to cut down on meal prep!
