Lime Pepper Chicken Freezer Marinade

Lime Pepper Chicken Freezer Marinade is easy to prepare by mixing the marinade in a bowl adding the meat and freezing it for later all ready for the hurried busy weeknight meal you need to make.

After it is frozen, just cook any method you like. This chicken is bursting with flavor, juicy and tender every time.

We included grilling, pan-fried, baked, air-fried and slow cooking methods, and to make your meal easier just add some frozen vegetables to the microwave or white cooked rice on the side.

Bake, Pan Fry, Grill, or Air Fry Methods for Chicken

• NOTE: Check the chicken to be at 165 degrees using a meat thermometer in the thickest part:
• Baked: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the coated chicken on a greased baking sheet. Spray with cooking oil or drizzle with vegetable oil. Bake for 20 minutes stirring a few times 
• Grill: For kabobs, soak the skewers first in water for at least 30 minutes. Thread the chicken on the skewers and grill for 4 to 7 minutes on each side on a preheated grill. Use the sauce for dipping. Or leave the breasts whole and grill for 8 to 11 minutes.
