FAST AND EASY GARLIC-ROSEMARY MARINADE FOR STEAK OR CHICKEN



Fast and Easy Garlic-Rosemary Marinade for Steak or Chicken image

Some mornings you're looking at a package of round steaks or some other tough cut that NEEDS a marinade. And you've got 5 minutes before you have to walk out the door so there isn't time to measure out a lot of ingredients for something complexly seasoned. This marinade will make the cut because its almost as easy as the bottled kind. But you won't feel shortchanged at dinner time because it tastes like more work than it really is. Also good on chicken.

EASY ITALIAN CHICKEN MARINADE



Easy Italian Chicken Marinade image

This recipe is great on grilled chicken! The vinegar helps create a tender meat, so the longer it marinates, the better. A favorite of mine is to grill chicken using this, slice it into strips, and serve with pasta (this goes great with my "Béchamel (White Sauce)" recipe!). This marinade tastes just as good without the Montreal Chicken Seasoning, so if you're out of it, don't stress!

Time 5m

1 tablespoon Montreal chicken seasoning
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl until combined.
  • Completely cover each chicken breast with marinade. Store in gallon-size ziplock baggies, Tupperware containers, or other sealable, air-tight container. Marinate chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight.

EASY BBQ CHICKEN MARINADE



Easy Bbq Chicken Marinade image

Came up with this one on the fly. This quantity of ingredients will be sufficient marinade for 4 drumsticks. I like to use zipper-seal bags for marinating because the air can be removed so that the meat is surrounded by marinade, which means I can throw it into the fridge and forget about it until cooking time. I get a nice, even marinade on every piece without any extra fuss. Plus, it is one less dish to wash after.

I've used this with both chicken breasts (makes enough for 8 boneless breasts) or pork tenderloins. It makes the meat so tender and juicy! Perfect for grilling, or you can also use it in the oven.
