Marinades - The Fastest Way to Simplify Meal Prep

Marinades make cooking easy because they infuse flavor into the meat ahead of time so there is less work that has to be done when it's time to cook. You can prep your meats and marinades all at once and then just pull out as needed. Cooking is as simple as just baking the chicken or sauteeing the fish, because all the flavor you need is already there. There are no complicated recipes or long prep times.

Chicken Marinades

All of these marinades are measured on 2 pounds or 4 chicken breasts. Unless otherwise noted, marinate for at least a few hours up to a few days. It’s best to mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl first and then marinate the chicken. You can use a gallon baggie, plastic or glass container or vacuum seal to get the best flavor.

Champagne Lemon Pepper Marinade

DO NOT USE THIS MARINADE FOR MORE THAN 1-2 HOURS
The acidity in the fresh lemon juice will begin to cook the meat if left in longer.

1 T. Lemon Pepper Spice
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 T. Tuscan Garlic Olive Oil
2 t. Italian Seasoning

Rosemary Wine Chicken Marinade

2 T. Tuscan garlic oil or Italian oil
2 t. Italian seasoning
3 T. white wine

Seafood Marinades

Place in gallon plastic bag or container. We do not suggest vacuum sealing fish marinades - the flesh is too tender and the flavor can become too intense when vacuum sealed.

These are all based on one pound of shrimp. For best results use easy peel
shrimp. Unlike the seafood marinades, these can be vacuum sealed, but do
not marinate for more than a day or two unless you plan to freeze.
