Garlic & Beer Marinated Chicken

5 ingredients.... That's it! 

The ingredients are THAT simple & everyone has them in their home, I hope! 

Ingredients:

• 1 Large Chicken Breast (cut into 4 pieces)
• 12 oz beer - I use whatever we have on hand but a Corona or Bud Light Lime is usually the best for flavor. I used Miller Lite and then just add Lime juice to make up for the citrus flavor.
• 2 T EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
• 2-4 T Garlic Powder or Minced Garlic (Depends on how much strong garlic flavor you like in your chicken)
• Couple shakes of Black Pepper & Salt (Depends on how you like the taste of salt & pepper)

You'll need:

• Mixing bowl
• Meat tenderizer 
• George Foreman or a grill 

Serving Size:

2-4 people depends on how much chicken you want to have each. I cut this into four pieces so we always have leftovers for more salad. I grill each piece separate and add it to the salad while it's still warm. It's PERFECT!

Take the large chicken breast and cut into two pieces. Rinse and set aside onto a cutting board. Grab a large mixing bowl and whisk together all of the ingredients. Pound your chicken to an even thickness before marinating - it will help the chicken marinade in the flavors, then it will cook evenly and stay juicy! Then take the two large breasts and cut in half so you now have four pieces. Place the chicken in the marinade and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours before cooking. I place mine in the fridge around lunch time (12:00) and it will be ready to grill around 4:30 for dinner.

I use my George Foreman to cook the chicken (but only because it's too cold to grill outdoors)! It usually takes about 10-15 minutes to cook through. You'll have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn or get too dried out from being overdone. 

My favorite recipe for this chicken is to add it on top of a bed of lettuce and veggies for an awesome tasting salad! It's so yummy and everyone loves it! 

Enjoy!
