Lemon Basil Chicken Marinade
This is a very easy and simple marinade for chicken that is delicious!
Equipment
- BBQ Grill - Outdoor
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup dried basil
- 1 tbsp garlic seasoning salt
- ½ juice of ½ lemon
- 12-16 chicken breast tenderloins
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients into a large, gallon-sized ziplock bag, then seal it and swirl it around so everything is combined.1 ½ cup olive oil, ½ cup dried basil, 1 tbsp garlic seasoning salt, ½ juice of ½ lemon
- Add 12-18 pieces of chicken tenderloins or any kind of chicken you prefer into the ziplock bag and marinate for at least one hour in the refrigerator. If frozen, thaw out beforehand then add to the marinade.
- When you're ready to grill it, do it on an outside BBQ grill as the olive oil does tend to light on fire. This creates a smoke that gives the chicken a really nice flavor so it's okay if it does this. Just be careful and prepared for this.
- Grill for 5 minutes on one side, then turn over and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked fully through. This varies depending on how hot your grill is so use your best judgement when grilling. I do mine on about medium heat on our BBQ grill.
- I like to serve this with homemade alfredo sauce and angel hair pasta but it's also perfect all by itself.
