I love marinated chicken, but I never buy commercial marinades. They're full of high fructose corn syrup and a lot of other unnecessary ingredients. So, I mixed up my own marinade. This is so yummy! It works to grill it, bake it, make sandwiches, add to salads, etc. We eat it at least once every couple of weeks.

Ingredients:
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup of water
¼ cup of onion, minced*
1 clove garlic, minced*
¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
½ tsp. sea salt
½ tsp. thyme
¼ tsp. sage
1/4 tsp. marjoram

Directions: Mix all ingredients together, then add chicken. Marinate at least 6 hours, or better, 24 hours. Cook as desired.

*It's not important to mince if you don't intend to use the marinade in any sort of sauce. Rough chop is fine.

You can also add a bit of tomato juice or sauce for a bit of a different flavor. Yummy!
