Easy Lemon Chicken


This is one of the easiest chicken marinades to throw together on a busy day.  You can start with either thawed or frozen chicken.  I also prefer to use the chicken tender pieces since they cook up nice and evenly and only take a couple minutes to BBQ.

Easy Lemon Chicken
Using a zip lock bag, throw in:
-approx. 10 raw chicken tenders
-some olive oil (about 1/4 cup)
-some garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper (about 1/2 tsp. each)
-the juice of one lemon (i've also used lime but used the juice of two of them)
-salt (my salt rule is a pinch per serving)
Close the zip lock bag.  Mix and shake all the ingredients around until everything is incorporated and evenly coating the chicken. Allow to marinade in fridge for 4-12 hours.  If using frozen chicken, follow recipe but allow to marinade and thaw for 24 hours in fridge.  BBQ until the chicken is cook. 
Enjoy over salads, in wraps, on a sandwich, or any other way you enjoy chicken.
