Keto Chicken Marinade for Grilled Chicken
Description
The marinade combines liquid components like reduced-sodium chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic with yellow mustard and dried Italian seasoning, producing a balanced, savory mix. Salt rounds out the flavor. Chicken breasts are salted first, then submerged in the marinade for a minimum of two hours or up to overnight, maximizing flavor infusion and tenderization.
Grilling is straightforward: preheat the grill to medium heat and cook chicken breasts for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached, which ensures safety and optimal juiciness. This marinade specifically suits keto dietary preferences by avoiding sugars or high-carb ingredients.
It yields enough marinade for about 1¼ pounds of chicken breast, making it a convenient portion for family meals or batch cooking.
