A simple marinade that makes a wonderfully flavorful and moist chicken. Alternately you can grill the chicken after it marinates. Time does not include marinating. Ingredients:
8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves |
1/3 cup orange juice |
3 tablespoons canola oil |
3 tablespoons honey |
2 1/4 teaspoons chopped fresh basil or 3/4 teaspoon dried basil |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Place in a sealable plastic food storage bag. 2. Pour a mixture of the orange juice, canola oil, honey and basil over the chicken, tossing to coat; seal tightly. 3. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours, tossing occasionally. Drain, reserving the marinade. 4. Brown the chicken on both sides in the vegetable oil in a skillet; drain. Arrange the chicken in a glass baking dish. Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken. 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until tender. Serve hot or cold. |
