Chicken is a cornerstone of many people’s healthy diets. Rich in lean protein, chicken is a versatile ingredient that can be added to nearly any dish or eaten on its own. However, if not prepared correctly, some chicken varieties can be dryer or less flavorful than you’d like. Fortunately, there’s an easy fix: simply marinade the chicken in this delicious mix beforehand! This recipe is so good, we think it’s safe to say that It's the only Chicken Marinade recipe you’ll need for the rest of the summer.
