I have tried so many chicken marinades in my life, that I rarely expect one to knock my socks off. You can imagine how happy I was that this recipe did exactly that.
This recipe just bursts with flavor. I've done pesto marinades before but they never had as much punch. I think its the vinegar in this that really makes it.
Adding to 2024 favorites! You should try it and add it to your regular rotation too.
All-Purpose Pesto Chicken Marinade
Recipe from Thissillygirlskitchen.com
Serves 4
- 6 pieces chicken* (I used a mix of thighs and breast)
- 1/2 c apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 T dijon mustard
- 2 T granulated sugar
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 10 cracks fresh black pepper
- 2 heaping tablespoons prepared pesto
Place chicken in a gallon sized bag and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Reserve half of the marinade and place in an air-tight container in the fridge. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, toss to coat. Place in fridge for 4-6 hours to marinate.
Take chicken out of marinade and grill over medium heat until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Baste chicken with reserved marinade every few minutes while cooking.
