Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Frozen lemonade concentrate
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the frozen lemonade concentrate, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable freezer bag or airtight container. Pour the lemonade marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.
Seal the bag or container and remove as much air as possible. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, but preferably overnight for best flavor. Alternatively, label and freeze the marinated chicken if preparing as a make-ahead meal (OAMC).
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If using frozen chicken, thaw completely in the refrigerator before cooking.
Transfer the chicken and marinade to a baking dish and arrange the breasts in a single layer.
Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the marinade halfway through the cooking time to keep it moist.
Remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, and serve warm. Pair with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
