When you think about eating healthy, boring grilled chicken comes to mind. How much chicken and vegetables can a person eat until he or she goes nuts? Chicken is a great high quality source of protein that is low in fat...as long as you lose the skin. Here is a super quick and easy marinade that jazzed up my chicken tonight.
1/2 cup Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Dijon Mustard
1/4 cup No Sugar Added Apricot Jam
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder to taste
Wisk together all the ingredients until the marinade is smooth. Add 1-2 lbs of chicken to the marinade. Mix it together to cover the chicken. Cover and pop it in the fridge for about an hour.
To save time, I started making some rice, then put the marinade together. Once my rice was done, I did my work out, which gave the chicken time to marinate. When I finished my workout, I cooked the chicken and some veggies.Since I used those small chicken breast tenderloins, I only need ten minutes to finish dinner. The chicken was sweet and tangy! Total prep time for dinner was 20...take that Rachel Ray.
