Chicken Marinade Recipes

 I often come home from the grocery store or Sam's with a large package of chicken breasts.  Now that I'm cooking for only two, I need to break that down into smaller portions.  These marinade recipes give me the perfect opportunity to easily spice up dinner in a snap.

2 Chicken breasts

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite)

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 Tbsp chili powder

3 Tbsp soy sauce

Cilantro and Lime Chicken Marinade

Fajita Chicken Marinade

2 Chicken breasts

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup hone

2 Tbsp lime juice

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp cumin

Add the chicken breasts and all other ingredients to a freezer bag and mix well.  Remove all excess air and seal tightly.  Write the name and date on the front or the bag and freeze up to 3 months.  When you're ready to use, let defrost overnight in the fridge.  You can place in a bowl of water to help speed up defrosting. Cook as you usually would, fry, broil, grill.
