The BEST Chicken Marinade EVER! Great for meal prep!


 Let's make the BEST chicken ever. It's the best because it is a super quick marinade. 2 hour minimum marinate time but you can also let it sit in the marinade in the fridge for up to 2 days. It's also super juicy and flavorful. But the best part is- it's super versatile. You can add this chicken to salads, make a grilled chicken sandwich, nourish bowls, make chicken salad out of it, buffalo chicken wraps, caesar salad topper, the list goes on and on. I make this chicken every week for a reason: simple, fast, and delicious. 

The best chicken marinade ever:
1.5 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano OR Italian Seasoning
1 tsp paprika


Trim your chicken and halve lengthwise any extra thick pieces to ensure even cooking. 
In a resealable plastic bag (or a large bowl) add in 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add in your chicken, turning to coat. Then add in the other 1 tbsp of olive oil and coat the chicken as evenly as you can.  In a small bowl mix together all of your dried spices and the salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until they are well combined. Add half the spice mixture to the chicken and mix well coating the chicken. Then add in the rest of the spice mixture and mix to coat. 
Marinate in the fridge 2 hours or up to 2 days. Then, cook however you choose. Bake it, grill it, pan fry it, air fry it, grill pan it, the sky is the limit. 
Enjoy!
