I started school last Monday…. Wow, that is weird to say! Rikard has been begging me to go to school and learn Swedish the right way for over a year now. So I finally bit the bullet and started. So within the next 6 months I will be fluent in Swedish, 3 hours a day is a bit much for my liking though.
With me being in school most of the day (ok ok 3 hours, but it takes a long time driving and getting ready!) I have been looking for recipes that I can throw together before I leave for school in the morning. I am also getting a little worried that summer is leaving me… and fast. So I want everything cooked on the BBQ! This marinade is so simple and I always have the ingredients in the house. I get creative most the time and just start dumping different spices into it, but it always turns out great.
Delicious Chicken Marinade
Ingredients
¼ Cup White wine vinegar (or balsamic)
¼ Cup Olive oil
½ tsp Chili powder
1 or 2 crushed bay leaves
½ tsp Onion powder
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Pepper
½ tsp Oregano
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
4 Chicken breasts
Directions
1. Combine all ingredients in a resealable bag. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, but best is over night.
2. I also have put them in the freezer so all I have to do is thaw them out. The flavor is amazing!
3. Grill on the BBQ or in a skillet. Enjoy!
Sounds yummy! I agree about the end of summer and the grilling season...I'll miss it!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty good! Living as close to the equator as I do, I can use this for grilling year round so thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good. Great recipe. I am not ready to hang up my tongs just yet. It's still really hot here so hoping to get another month of summer in. Then I may pop the grill on my daughter's deck (how lucky is she to be the one to get the deck) for the winter so I can keep at it. Lol. Congrats on going back to school. I'd love to learn another language. Both my kids speak english and french. It was really important to us for them to be bi-lingual. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love fast and easy marinades like this! And I like that you can freeze the whole thing in advance!
ReplyDeleteThat marinade looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out!
ReplyDeleteYUM! This looks delicious and best of luck with your class. Unfortunately, I have NO talent for languages.
ReplyDeleteI want some...now! I am feeling hungry:)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a perfect and healthy addition to any meat. I love the addition of wine!
ReplyDeleteYUM! And I LOVE the fact that it's salt-free! WOOT!
ReplyDeletePS: Best of luck in school. Swedish, WOW!
ReplyDeletePacked with flavor...great marinade. The red pepper flakes would be a definite must.
