Marinade Instructions

  • Place olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, water, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic, parsley, and basil into a large container or gallon size bag. We like using a bag because it will cover all sides of the chicken.
  • Whisk together to combine.
  • Next, add boneless skinless chicken breast to the marinade and then remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal.
