Hi,

Does anyone have a good chicken marinade they can recommend? I grill a lot of chicken on the Foreman and it's sort of bland. Does anyone have a marinade they enjoy? Homemade or store bought is fine. I've done fat free Italian dressing so I'm looking for something a little different.

Thanks

    I love using honey and mustard.
    Also, balsamic vinegar, pepper, salt and fennel seeds.
    A good tandoori rub it always nice.
    Endless possiblities really....

    One envelope of Good Seasons Italian Dressing
    1/3 cup vegetable oil
    1/3 cup grapefruit juice.

    I always double it because I want to have enough to cover 4 or 5 breasts well. It’s also easier because one little can of grapefruit juice (from the six packs they sell) is two thirds of a cup. Pink grapefruit juice is fine.

    1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
    1/4 cup mustard (brown or yellow, whatever you have)
    1 tsp ground black pepper
    1/2 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp mild chili powder
    1 TBS oil

    This is good on pork too.

    1/3 cup vegetable oil
    1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
    1 Tbsp garlic powder
    1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp pepper

    I usually mix this up in a zip top baggie, add the chicken, and then freeze or store in the fridge until needed.

    Not a marinade , but I like to sprinkle each side of the chicken breast with garlic salt and lemon pepper before grilling.

    I eat grilled chicken every day, and use cheap McCormick Teriyaki Pineapple Marinade (plus some season salt, pepper, and garlic).

    I usually drizzle some olive oil and then just add seasonings when I cook meat. Garlic salt & pepper is my favorite.

    Can cook veggies the same way, keeps it simple.

    Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle with a seasoning, I like the clubhouse Greek one or a lemon herb mix, if it's not for the kids I'll do paprika and cayenne pepper, Montreal chicken spice etc. so many choices :)

    1 part soy sauce
    1 part sesame oil
    minced garlic (to taste, I use lots)
    1/4 part lime juice

    I also really love Soyaki for marinade.

    Olive oil + lemon juice + crushed garlic (I then serve with bulgur wheat and green salad)

    Tandoori paste + yoghurt (serve with rice salad and something green)

    Here's one a coworker shared with me a couple weeks ago:

    1 cup apple cider vinegar
    3-4 tbsp minced garlic
    2 tsp steak seasoning (it's great on chicken, trust me!)

    Marinate for a few hours and grill. Delicious!

    I love chicken on the grill with a little adobo sprinkled on it! It's the best!

    So far, I've used the following and like them all...

    Dale's Low Sodium

    garlic powder and balsamic vinaigrette

    I don't marinade it in this, but sprinkle garlic powder on the raw breasts and when the chicken's got about 2 minutes left, I brush a little mandarin sauce on both sides
