Instructions

Step 1

Make the Marinade Mix all marinade ingredients together in a small dish. Marinate the Chicken Set the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, then turn the chicken so it's fully coated on all sides. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Cook the Chicken Slow Cooker: Add the chicken and marinade to the slow cooker. Add 1/2 cup water or chicken stock. Turn on low and cook for 3-4 hours. Instant Pot: Add the chicken, marinade, and 1 cup of liquid, either chicken stock or water, to your Instant Pot. Close and turn to High Pressure for 15 minutes and allow for a natural pressure release. Grill: Preheat your grill to 400 Fahrenheit. Oil the grill grates well. Add the chicken to the grill, and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165 Fahrenheit, per USDA. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before you slice it! Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375 Fahrenheit. Spray the basket lightly with oil, and add the chicken, leaving space between each breast. Close and cook for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 Fahrenheit. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before you slice it! Oven: Lay the chicken breasts on a parchment lined baking sheet. Set in a 400 Fahrenheit oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 Fahrenheit. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before you slice it! Notes To freeze: Add the chicken and marinade to a freezer gallon sized ziplock bag. Squeeze out as much air as you can, then seal the bag. Set it in the freezer and use within 3-4 months for best results. 👉 Be sure to use my freezer inventory chart to keep track of your frozen chicken and the rest of your freezer contents!To defrost: When you’re ready to cook it, defrost the chicken by setting the bag on a plate inside the refrigerator overnight. Once the chicken is defrosted, cook it using any method you prefer.
