This blend of spices makes the best grilled chicken you've ever eaten!
This recipe was born from not having a bottle of Italian salad dressing on hand. I was looking for a quick marinade for my chicken fillets and was clean out!
I served it to my friends and the kiddos and EVERYONE grooved on the combination. Thank goodness I had enough chicken, because every body asked for seconds.
HERE'S ALL IT TAKES
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 1 large garlic clove, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
This was enough to marinade 4 chicken breasts. The meat marinaded in the refrigerator for 2 or 3 hours, before I cooked it on the grill.
Of course, I would have easily cooked it on my grill pan on the stove top. But it was just too beautiful outside not to start up the grill.
Jill, seeing the ingredients, I quickly went down look for the picture;)…………..:( Anyway, since you said, it was delicious…. I would try this out:-)
Hey Vani,
You know how it goes…everybody’s STARVIN’ to eat and there’s no time to grab the camera.
I chose to wear my hostess hat, instead of my blogger’s hat, and had to let it fly.
Yes Jill, I understand:) I was kidding…
It happened for me also…I tried Baby Kailan and was taking pictures of each step I did, but somehow forgot to click the final output:) I realised it when I had the last spoon of it
This Italian Marinade recipe was such a hit, I had to grill again!
I added a photo at the end of the post this time, ha!
makes me want to go outside & grill again and again and again…I have GRILLER’S MADNESS!!
Someone SAVE ME!!! no, no, no,
Someone come over and eat so I can keep grilling!
This is simply the best marinade I have ever used! I changed it up a bit by using shallots for regular onions, and used 2 cloves of garlic because i do that with just about every recipe as my hubby and I love garlic. I also used EVOO for the canola oil. Simply delicious! Thanks for posting!
