The Best Marinated Chicken
This recipe is for the best marinated chicken. The marinade is loaded with an abundance of seasonings and spices, with a touch of sweetness from honey. So many flavors are packed into each bite!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken breast, thin sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- juice of 1 lemon
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed
- 2 tbsps honey
- 1½ tsps ground cumin
- 1½ tsps smoked paprika
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¾ tsp ground ginger
- ¾ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- salt and pepper, to season
- thinly sliced red onion
- fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, smashed garlic cloves, honey, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon, ginger, oregano, turmeric, salt and pepper.
- Place chicken breast in a large ziplock bag, or large bowl and add the marinade. Make sure to mix chicken around to get each piece coated well.
- Let marinate at least 4 hours. The longer you let it marinate, the better! I let mine sit over night.
- When you're ready to grill chicken, preheat grill to medium heat. Cook chicken breasts for 3 minutes on each side. Or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°.
- Top with thinly sliced red onions and fresh chopped oregano.
- Serve with side dish of choice.
- Enjoy!
