Another Easy Marinade
Friday I posted about marinating chicken breasts and freezing them to grill later. It’s great to fill up your freezer with these and pull them out on a busy day. Here’s another easy marinade for chicken breasts. It has a sort of southwestern/tex-mex taste to it.
Chicken Marinade
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup fresh cilantro
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1½ tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chopped parsley
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp crushed red pepper
Combine all the ingredients and coat your chicken. As Rachael Ray would say, YUM-O!
If you really want to spice up your chicken, increase the amount of crushed red pepper.
I should also say Kroger makes a great dry seasoning package you can mix with oil and vinegar to make a fantastic southwestern marinade. You can find it with their other dry mixes and gravies. It’s spicy and delicious!

This sounds soo good. I do loads of freezer cooking, so making marinades ahead of time is a must. Thanks for the great recipe.
Thanks for your reply. I’ll try to find some more marinades. What are some of the recipes you freeze?
