Lemon Marinated Chicken Breasts

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This marinade produces a very moist chicken breast with lots of flavor, no need to marinate for more than 2-3 hours, or the acid in the lemon will start to "cook" the chicken. Adjust the hot sauce to taste. This recipe can be doubled if desired."

Tired of the same old boring grilled chicken, I cringed when my husband requested it for dinner. Pulled up this recipe and LOVED the results. Even the process was fun and gave me a chance to get my 6 year old involved. We threw the ingredients into my nutribullet, gave it a whirl and out came a creamy and tasty marinade. In the fridge for 2 hours, onto the grill and everyone ate it up. My 7 year old said this is the only way he now wants his chicken :) Thank you Kittencal... you've done it again!!! I don't know why I try anyone else's recipes when yours are great everytime. God bless :)

This was amazing!! So easy and delicious! I did add some minced garlic to the marinade and I didn't have any regular hot sauce, but I did have some Chipotle Tabasco and it worked great in the recipe!! Wish I could upload a photo of it! I sent a pic to my daughter and she insisted on the recipe!! Thanks for sharing this, I will definitely use this again!!

I poured all the ingredients for the marinade in a bag and put the chicken in it to marinate. Maybe only 1 hour and a half. Cause I did it too late. I was supposed to puree it in the blender but forgot. I didn't use celery salt but used seasoning salt. The taste of the chicken was very tasty and it was tender a lot. Thanks Kit.
