My Easy Chicken Recipes
Easy Chicken Recipe
There may be easier recipes for chicken than any other meat. My family loves chicken, so we have numerous delicious recipes. One of the recipes we enjoy is marinating chicken breasts in Stubbs Chicken Marinade sauce, and then we cook it on the grill.
We do this a few times during the warm summer months. We have tried numerous marinades over the years, but we really like the flavor of Stubbs. It is so simple to use right out of the bottle.
For this particular recipe, we slice the meat after it is grilled; then, we can use the chicken in many different dishes. We purchased a meat slicer; it was very inexpensive as it is constructed from hard plastic. We have certainly gotten our money’s worth out of this slicer, and the blade is still very sharp. The blade adjusts for different widths, so we slice meat, cheese and sometimes other products.
We use boneless, skinless chicken breast to marinade in this particular recipe. This makes slicing the meat quite simple. Three chicken breasts are an ample amount for our family, but obviously, you could cook as many as you wish.

Cook Time
Ingredients
- 3 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
- 2/3 cup Stubbs Chicken Marinade
Instructions
- Rinse chicken and cut off any excess fat from the chicken breasts.
- Place chicken in a 13" x 9" pan.
- Pour 2/3 cup of Stubbs marinade over chicken. Fork the chicken breasts several times to get the full flavor of the marinade. Turn chicken breast over, and repeat the process.
- Refrigerate the chicken breast for a minimum of one hour. I typically fix the marinaded chicken in the morning and let it marinate until it is time to put it on the grill.
- Grill chicken slowly on a low fire, turning it over after approximately 10-15 minutes; grill until done.
- Do not overcook the chicken, or it will be dry. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which is 165° when done.
- Take chicken breasts off the grill and let cool for about 15 minutes.
- Slice the chicken, and it is ready to serve.

These are just a couple of ways we use chicken. As a lower fat meat, I try to cook chicken and fish both more frequently then I cook beef and pork. I have some other hubs on chicken dishes that you might enjoy.
