This is another recipe I came up with when I was on my "no sugar, salt, dairy, flour, or oil" diet a few years ago. It is still my absolute favorite marinade. I always use it when I grill chicken on the BBQ, but I think it would work well in the oven too. The key to this is its carmelization, so whatever cooking method can...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small lemon, juiced
1 Tbsp ginger paste, heaping (you can find this in the produce section)
1/4 c pineapple juice
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients together. Pour into a ziplock bag. Add chicken. Roll chicken around in marinade to completely coat. Allow to sit in marinade for 10-20 minutes. I find if it sits longer than that the chicken begins to get a mealy texture. Move chicken around in marinade at least once while marinating so it gets even marination. Cook on a BBQ as you normally would. I usually have my heat on high until I put the chicken on, then I turn it down to medium and grill 10-20 minutes on each side. Depends how hot your grill is, how thick your chicken is, and whether over direct heat or not.
