6 EASY CHICKEN MARINADES | amazing chicken breast recipe + freezer friendly meal prep
Using a chicken marinade is one of the best ways to give your chicken breast recipe some big flavor and maximum juiciness. From a bright Greek lemon marinade, to punchy honey mustard, and everything in between - here's everything you need to know about making (and using) the best chicken marinades!
While I'm all for dry rubs for a savory top coat, chicken marinades have their own benefits. They're great for locking in your favorite flavors, tenderizing the meat, and keeping it ultra juicy as it cooks. That's especially important for when you're cooking up chicken breasts - because we all know how easily they can dry out.
In addition to chicken breasts, these marinades can be used for chicken thighs (my favorite), or even chicken drumsticks, depending on what type of meal prep you've got going for the week. So if you need some fresh dinner ideas (aka chicken recipes for dinner), watch the video and head to the blog post below for more sides and pairing options.

PASTA AL CILANTRO, FÁCIL Y DELICIOSA ???????????????????? ????????IDEAL PARA LA CENA DE NAVIDAD!! ????????????????
La pasta con crema de cilantro o pasta cremosa al cilantro, es una de mis recetas favoritas y si tú amas como yo la pasta cremosa, también será tu receta favorita. Por su preparación, es facilísima y por su sabor exquisito, tus invitados o familia pedirán otro plato de esta deliciosa pasta que encantará a chicos y grandes.
Puedes usar el tipo de pasta que más te guste: puede ser espagueti, coditos, macarrones, fetuccini, plumilla, tornillos o fusilli.
Puedes acompañarla con pollo, con brócoli, o verduras al vapor, también puedes acompañar un corte de carne, o un lomo al horno etc.
Prueba tu mism@ en la cocina y crea tu propia receta. Yo te doy la base y tú puedes agregar lo que más te guste. Así que manos a la cocina! ???????????? ✋????????????
INGREDIENTES: (4 porciones)
* Pasta fusilli o tornillo 200 g.
* Cebolla 1/4 pza.
* Hojas de laurel 2 pzas. pequeñas
* Agua para hervir la pasta 2 litros
* Sal 1 cda
Para la salsa de cilantro:
* Las hojas de un manojo de cilantro 2 tzas.
* Queso crema 3/4 partes de una barra de 200g o 150g.
* Media crema o crema acidificada 1 tza.
* Leche evaporada 1 tza.
* Cebolla picada finamente 1 trozo pequeño
* Ajo triturado o picado finamente 1 diente pequeño.
* Mantequilla 1 cda
* Pimienta negra 1/2 cdita
* Caldo de pollo casero 1 y 1/2 tza
*Pechuga de pollo cocida 1/2 pza de pechuga
TIPS DE MAMÁ:
*Si la salsa se espesa demasiado, usa un poco más de caldo de pollo o leche.
*Utiliza bastante agua para que la pasta se cueza en su punto y no se pegue.
*Agrega la sal cuando el agua ya esté hirviendo y enseguida incorpora la pasta. Coloca en lumbre media.
*Si te gusta darle más sabor a la pasta, agrega algunas especias como pimienta negra entera, hojas de laurel o cebolla al agua donde hervirás la pasta.
*No agregues aceite a la cocción de la pasta, está es una práctica muy común pero innecesaria. El aceite hará que la pasta no se pegue entre sí, pero también hará que la salsa de cilantro no se quede adherida a la pasta y la presentación será desastrosa.
*Cuece la pasta 2 minutos menos de lo recomendado en el paquete de la pasta, ya que todavía permanecerá de 3 a 5 minutos al fuego dentro de la salsa de cilantro.
DELICIOUS CHILI RECIPE - Pork and Lentils Chili
Follow this recipe for the most tasty PORK & LENTILS CHILI. #chili #mexicanfood
Ingredients:
4 cups of chicken stock
1 pound of ground pork
4-5 strips of bacon
1 cup of lentil
1 can of black beans
1 yellow onion
4 cloves of garlic
1 large or two medium tomatoes
2 dried chilies Guajillo
1 dried chili Ancho
1 dried chili Chipotle
2 bay leaves
1 handful of fresh cilantro (more for serving)
1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cumin
1-2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons of dried oregano
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Lime
Topings:
Mexican Sour cream (with a squeeze of lime juice)
Shredded Mexican Cheese blend
Chicharrones (pork rind chips)
Mexican Mole
Mexican mole is a sauce, unlike anything I have ever experienced. Looking at the ingredients list, you may get a bit nervous...but fear not. This is a straightforward process to follow, and the end result is nothing short of incredible.
The recipe I used in this video is not exactly traditional (I had access to only a certain selection of chiles), but otherwise, I did my best at sticking closely to tradition here. Again, this is a truly special sauce and I assure you, should you dare to try this out, it'll result in something you won't ever forget.
Ingredients
1 whole chicken
1 stick butter
2 cups chicken broth
2 dried guajillo chiles
2 dried ancho chiles
3 dried chipotle chiles
1 dinner roll
2-3 corn tortillas
2 tomatoes
6 tomatillos
1 tbsp butter
2 yellow onions
1/2 head garlic
1/3 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 cup raisins
2 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp dried thyme
3 cinnamon sticks
5 whole cloves
6 whole allspice berries
5 oz dark chocolate
1 cup chicken broth
3 tbsp white sugar
Salt (to taste)
1. Remove stems and seeds from all chiles and prepare all ingredients.
2. Wedge butter between skin and meat of chicken.
3. Add chicken to a pot with chopped onion, a handful of salt, and cover with water.
4. Cook at 300 Fahrenheit until chicken is soft and tender, about 2.5 hours.
5. Toast chiles in a dry pan until aromatic and slightly charred.
6. Add 2 cups of chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Then, add all contents to a blender and set aside.
7. Next, add your chopped tortillas and roll them into a dry pan and slightly brown. Add this to the blender and pulse.
8. Peel and chop your tomatillo and tomatoes (I subbed tomato paste and sauce). Add to the dry pan once again and blister a few minutes over medium-high heat. Add to blender and pulse.
9. Add 1 tbsp butter to the pan, then add one chopped onion, peanuts, raisins, cumin seeds, dried thyme, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and allspice berries. Cook until onions are softened.
10. Pick out whole spices (namely cinnamon sticks, cloves, and allspice berries), and add the remaining contents to a blender. Blend until smooth.
11. Pour this mixture into a larger pan over medium heat. Add chopped chocolate, more broth if needed, sugar, and salt.
12. Stir until well combined and reduce to the proper consistency.
13. Pour over chicken, rice, whatever you want! It is INCREDIBLE.
