As I mentioned in my last post the weather here has been beautiful all weekend. John and I spent the weekend shopping for patio furniture which put me in the mood for something grilled or barbecued. Unfortunately we haven't found a grill yet so I am still using my grill pan but it does the trick. I decided to go with this recipe for marinated chicken breasts. It was light and well seasoned with a citrus kick. Perfect for a beautiful sunny Sunday.
Ingredients:
4 chicken breast halves, skinned and boned
2 cloves minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granule (I used a few tablespoons of chicken broth)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
Directions:
1. Combine all the condiments and juices to make a marinade; mix well.
2. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
3. Grill over medium heat for about 10 minutes on each side (or until fully cooked).

I'm always looking for ways to prepare chicken and this looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI just made this Citrus Grilled Chicken and I really loved the 'summer' flavor it had. I think it's missing something though - maybe a sauce of some kind (I really LOVE sauces)? This chicken recipe would taste great if you topped a salad with it or as a sandwich on a french roll with swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Yum!
