Keto Chicken Marinade for Grilled Chicken
This Keto Chicken Marinade blends chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, yellow mustard, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt to impart flavor and moisture to chicken breasts before grilling. Marinating allows the chicken to absorb these savory and tangy notes, resulting in a juicy, seasoned grilled chicken adjusted for keto diets. The simple ingredients coat the meat and encourage browning and tenderness upon grilling.
