Perfect Marinated Chicken Breasts

my go to marinade for years!!

I made this as written and also added a tablespoon of Dijon mustard and a half tablespoon of honey. I butterflied the chicken and marinated for about six hours. The flavor was amazing and the chicken was tender and juicy. My fellas do not like spice but you could certainly add your choice of flavors to give it some kick. Frankly it doesn’t need anything except what’s already there. Great recipe!

I marinated the chicken for over a day. The flavor was OK. It’s a nice change to just a grilled piece of chicken. However, I will be adding more herbs and spices. There wasn’t enough flavor for us.

I did as another reviewer suggested and baked the breasts for 45 mins 400F and they came out perfect. I used garlic salt to season the outside a bit. The entire family enjoyed this. Added to my faves!

I will most certainly make this again!

Perfect! The entire family loved this recipe!

I used ginger ale instead of lemon lime soda. It was good, moist. I recommend adding a little sauce near the end but I may have over cooked mine.

Ok so I actually put the chicken in the marinade for 3 days (forgot about it in the meat tray) so my results may be a little different since recipe calls for 24 hrs. With that said, It was the best grilled chicken I’ve ever had and I grill frequently. It was moist, somewhat blackened (I guess form olive oil flare up). I did butterfly the breast (probably could have pounded them too). They were absolutely delicious. I may add some heat (cayenne, crushed red pepper) to suit my taste next time but this recipe is FINE as is, needs nothing, really great.

This came out super delish! Easy to prepare and even better to eat.

Kind of bland. Needs more seasoning. Best part was meat was juicy which is hard to maintain with a boneless skinless chicken Brest. Maybe a little less soy sauce as it was a little salty

The chicken came out dry. Of course, that may have been an error on my part. But in general, the flavor wasn’t anything special.

We love this easy marinade. We usually will use a Mexican soda (or any other soda that uses sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup). We’ve used lemon-lime, pineapple, and orange soda at different times and all turn out great. We also use bone-in chicken thighs instead of breasts so the grill time is longer. We always poke our thighs with a fork before marinating to make sure plenty of flavor gets into the chicken. We use fresh garlic and blend everything up (minus the soda) using our immersion blender, add the soda and chicken, and let it marinade overnight. So yummy!

I wanted something other than breading & frying my chicken. So, I just made this..had about 6 pieces, so increased the everything a smidgen, and I used “diet rite tangerine”. soon juicy and tender…delicious!

Nothing special and too salty even using low sodium soy sauce.

This is my aunt’s go-to recipe when grilling chicken at family parties and it’s delicious as-is. My star rating is based on the recipe as written (minus one star, just cause it’s pretty high in sodium). My daughter requested it last night and I didn’t have all the ingredients on hand so I made some substitutions and it worked out well– we had a lemon essenced sparkling water, so I used that and added the juice of 2 lemons and about 1-2 tbsn brown sugar to imitate the lemon-lime soda. I also used diced garlic instead of powdered and about 1/3 the amount of soy sauce and subbed some liquid aminos, still using less than the amount called for by about half. (Coconut aminos would be an even better option, but I have yet to get my hands on any). We only had about 25 minutes to marinate it, but it still came out moist and flavorful with that familiar flavor that I’m used to when it’s made as written. Just wanted to share this with others in case they avoid soda like our family does.

This was great. I used Sprite Zero, and had to substitute Worcestershire sauce because I found I didn’t have any soy sauce. Cooked it on an indoor electric grill. This was tender and juicy, and the leftovers the next day were just as good.

We make this all the time in summer great of the grill. The chicken breast are EXTREMELY moist. after only 30mins in the marinade. Even better when you let it sit over night.

Very good marinade, made 24 breast and grilled, everyone at the party asked for the receipe. The chicken was very moist! Cook on my gas grill at 350 degrees for approx . 30 minutes.

I will make again

Quite good. Marinaded overnight. Chunked up my chicken for kabobs. Upped garlic powder. When threading kabobs I cut up zucchini, summer squash, onions and mushrooms. Poured some reserved marinade over then basted with it while grilling. Note- I reserved marinade right after mixing it up and put 3/4 of it with chicken and rest in container in fridge for my veggies. Great taste on kabob veggies and meat.

Omg I loved this recipe. So amazing and delicious. The trick is to let it sit and grill it on one side for about 75 percent and fishing the other side. It keeps it super juicy
