very very good marinade for chicken breast

Hi, folks,

We used to do this at the restaurant I worked at, for grilled chicken breasts, and I say it can't be beat. We'd make twice this much, but the recipe below is AMPLE for probably 3-4 pounds of chicken if you want to do a big batch.

Combine ingredients in a large zip-top bag or sealable container large enough to hold all of your chicken. Set bag in a stable metal or glass bowl or dish if using a bag. Add chicken, seal and slosh all around so all parts are coated. Refrigerate (keep bag in other vessel) at LEAST overnight and up to two days.

Grill, bake or saute chicken to serve, or allow to cool after cooking, slice into approx. 1-oz strips, place in clean freezerbag after fully cooled, remove as much air as possible and freeze. Chicken should be marinated through, juicy and sweet-flavorful.

6 oz (1/2 can) natural apple juice concentrate (no sugar added - reserve other half can in freezer for future use)
1/4 cup cooking oil of choice
1/4 cup soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp (or to taste) dried marjoram (or thyme)
