Herbed Grilled Chicken Marinade

Mixed Herb Grilled Chicken Marinade - Photo

This quick & healthy Herbed Grilled Chicken marinade is on the menu very often in the summer! It is packed with flavor thanks to the mix of fresh herbs.  I love making extra grilled chicken for a leftover night or picnic night.  Many summer nights are played by ear so I like to cook a big batch on Monday and can use when we need it over the week (lunch, picnic nights or dinners).  I am not a fan of reheated meat and find that grilled chicken cold is still good!

This herbed grilled chicken marinade comes together with 5 simple ingredients.

  • Chicken: this works with chicken breasts, thighs or tenders
  • Lemon Juice – you can buy it pre-squeezed to make it easier or substitute a little more vinegar if you are out
  • Balsamic Vinegar – red wine vinegar works as well
  • Herbs: Your favorite blend!! I love rosemary, sage, thyme (when I have) and basil
  • Garlic: if you are short on time or don’t have you can use garlic powder instead

You can measure all of the ingredients in a bowl or dish and then just marinate for 2-6 hours and grill! Super easy and great for the summer especially.  I love making a batch of my mixed everything bagel seasoning veggies to go with it.
