Ingredients

  • Marinade:
  • 2 Bone-in, skin on, split chicken breasts
  • 3 Tbsp Canola Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Reduced-sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Ground Mustard
  • Several Turns of a Pepper Mill, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. Remove any excess fat and skin (do not remove skin, just cut off any hanging "flaps") from the chicken breasts, wash then pat dry and set aside.

2. In a shallow dish just large enough for the breasts, add all the marinade ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a wire whisk.

3. Place the breasts flat in the marinade, cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to cook.

NOTE: I marinated my breasts a good six hours; the longer the more flavor your chicken will have.

TIP: I placed the breasts, meaty side down, initially and turned a couple time during the marinading process.

4. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove breasts from the marinade, letting excess run off, and place in a casserole dish (I sprayed mine with cooking spray first).

5. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the lid or foil and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until juices run clear.

TIP: Turn the broiler on the last few minutes of cooking to get the top of the breast crunchy and browned.

NOTE: This marinated chicken would be great on the grill or your favorite smoker, as well.
