Easy Chicken Marinade

This recipe came from another of my "marinade nights" with my friends.  We got together and mixed up the ingredients for marinades for about 6 different dishes, brought the marinades home in freezer bags and added our own meat.  This chicken was outstanding and tasted great with the grilled potato packets and garlic almond green beans.  It was a meal that everyone ate a little bit of each dish - a great feat at our house!

Easy Chicken Marinade

½ c. brown sugar

½ c. balsamic vinegar

½ c. soy sauce

¼ c. olive oil

2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

2 Tbsp. sesame oil

4 cloves garlic

½ tsp. ground black pepper

Instructions:

Combine marinade ingredients in a large bowl or freezer bag.  Add 7 chicken breasts and seal and marinade for 2-4 hours (or if in freezer, allow to thaw in fridge). 

*I divided this into two batches for our family and put 4 chicken breasts in each and it turned out great - plus made two meals for us!

Heat a grill to medium heat.  Cook chicken breasts on grill, about 4-5 minutes per side until no longer pink and juices run clear.  Discard marinade. 

Enjoy!

Food for Thought: To make the potatoes, I simply sliced several potatoes, put them in tin foil with a bit of butter and salt and pepper.  I sealed the tin foil and placed it on the grill on high heat for about 20 minutes flipping once. 

For the green beans, I steamed them.  After they were tender crisp, added a Tbsp. of butter, about 1/3 c. slivered almonds, and about 1 tsp. garlic salt (I didn't measure, just eye balled it).  They turned out tasty!
