Ingredients

  • 1- 1 ¼ lb boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice or red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk vinegar, oil, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
  2. Place chicken in a shallow dish or 1-gallon sealable plastic bag. Add the marinade, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours.
  3. Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off excess and discard leftover marinade. Heat a grill or grill pan. Once hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, until you have grill marks on both sides and the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. You want the internal chicken temperature to be 165F.
  4. Enjoy chicken immediately or let cool, package in storage containers and save for later use.
