#284: Rosemary-Lemon Chicken Marinade


I recently got a new cookbook called The 300 Calorie Cookbook by Betty Crocker and came across for a recipe for Mediterranean Chicken and Vegetable Kabobs.  Always on the lookout for new chicken recipes we decided to give part of this recipe a try.  I marinated the chicken as the recipe calls for, but didn't eat it with the veggies or cheese as it we were supposed to.  As a chicken marinade though, this recipe is fantastic.  I was afraid it was going to be a little too lemon-y for my family but no one complained!  In fact, there wasn't any chicken left!

1/4 c lemon juice
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced

In a shallow bowl, mix all of the marinade ingredients.  Add chicken, stir to coat.  Cover dish (or seal in a ziplock bag) and refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 6 hours, stirring chicken occasionally.

Grill chicken over medium heat, 10-15 minutes, brushing with marinade if desired.  Cook until no longer pink in the center.
