1 Hour Chicken Marinade

I just love how when you need to cook dinner and you look for marinades they all (well most) take all day, who plans that much in advance?? ... The few that do can hush! While I am trying to do better about having a clear cut plan for the family at dinner during the week I still struggle with time management, so enter in the 1 hour (or less, I have done it for 30 minutes) marinade. If you want a stronger flavor and have more time feel free to use it, but I like the chicken just fine without the extra time. This marinade is super simple to set up and will do about 6 pounded and tenderized chicken breasts with no problem (I usually do an individual serving at lunch time,just cut down on the ingredients).

Here's What You'll Need:
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 heaping tbsp of molasses
  • 2.5 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 of white onion, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  1. pound and tenderize your chicken breasts
  2. put the chicken in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the top
  3. rub around the chicken so the glaze coats
  4. throw in the fridge until your ready to cook (toss any leftover marinade)
**the spices are VERY taste specific. If you don't like how it turns out, try to tweak it a bit to your taste preference**

Serve with some veggies and sweet potatoes!
