  This Lemon and Basil  Chicken is another new favorite of ours.  The marinade flavors the chicken so much more and the meat is really moist if you let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours before you cook it.  We buy the family size packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts which usually weigh about 4 pounds.  It…

Marinating the meats for 24 hours before grilling will vastly improve the tenderness, moisture and flavor. The ingredients in this marinade are olive oil, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, onion, and fresh basil.  You know from…

Chicken With A Light Curry Marinade

  I created the marinade for this chicken to compliment the flavors in my recipe for Grilled Chicken Chopped Salad.  The dressing for that salad uses the same Green Curry Paste from Thai Kitchen as I use in this marinade. Other than the Green Curry Paste, the ingredients in this marinade are very simple- grapeseed…
