#262: Marinated Chicken


I've been holding onto this recipe for quite a while now, and we finally took the opportunity to try it.  It's a very easy marinade to make and then freeze with the chicken soaking in it.  Our family enjoyed this chicken dish as well and we will definitely be making it again.  I was afraid the maple syrup would be a little too sweet for this, especially since we use imitation maple syrup, but it wasn't overpowering at all.  In fact, until I started writing this blog, I forgot it was even in there!  The original recipe suggested placing in the crockpot or baking in the oven, but it's grilling season, so why make more of a mess for yourself?!

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 cup liquid sweetener (honey, maple syrup, agave)
1/4 cup soy sauce

Mix together liquid sweetener, garlic and soy sauce and pour over chicken that has been placed in a resealable freezer bag.  Seal bag, trying to remove as much (if not all) of the air.  Squish bag to combine marinade with the chicken.  Freeze until ready to use (just let it defrost in the fridge overnight for a day or two).
