It’s all about the marinade!

The marinade for this chicken is out-of-this-world delicious.  Really truly.  It’s garlicky, lemony and so so flavourful!  I’ll definitely be using this marinade again and again!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice (fresh (juice of one medium lemon))
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white wine
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 inch small zucchini, cut into 1/2 squares
  • 1 cup whole mushrooms, cut in half

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into 1 1/2 inch cubes. Place in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag.
  2. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Pour on the fresh lemon juice, olive oil and white wine. Toss to coat chicken pieces.

  5. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least one hour, preferably over night.

Let’s BBQ!

  1. Heat your grill to medium-high.
