Does anyone have a good healthy recipe for a chicken marinade?
I’m on a bit of a health kick recently, I’v been visiting the gym to lift weights and jogging every morning, I’v also been trying to eat the right things!
Does anyone know of a good healthy marinade recipe for chicken or alternatively something that can be baught from the supermarket?
By healthy, I mean low in fat, salt ,sugar and artificial ingredients.
I’m not sure how healthy products such as Nando’s are.

Use your favourite lo-fat salad dressing.
Kraft now sells marinade versions, but check the labels.
You can make your own, with lemon juice, & some light oil.
Or a little honey & mustard for some bite.

my favourite marinade is salt reduced soy sauce, pineapple juice, white wine and a quarter of an onion in slices. put equal quantities of each liquid (about 1 Tbsp per chicken breast) and leave it for a few hours. It tastes great, especially grilled/bbqd.

2 TBLs Balsamic vinegar
2 slices of pineapple
a touch of salt and a bunch of pepper
allow chicken to marinate over night…. yummy

Look at the labels on Lawry’s Marinades, since I think they’re the best….. otherwise, you can always marinade in ANY low-fat/low-cal salad dressing

great chicken marinade
INGREDIENTS
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
80 ml olive oil
80 ml lemon juice
19.9 g Italian-style dressing mix
DIRECTIONS
Place the chicken breasts between sheets of waxed paper and pound until thin. Remove breasts and place into a large resealable plastic bag.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil, lemon juice, and Italian-style seasoning. Pour mixture into the plastic bag containing the chicken.
Seal the plastic bag and shake gently to ensure that all the chicken is in contact with the marinade. Refrigerate marinated chicken pieces overnight or up to two days.
When ready to cook, preheat grill and lightly oil grate. Place chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes per side.
