Grilled Marinated Chicken Breasts

I am giving the recipes for marinade that will marinade about 12 chicken breasts. I always buy lots when they are on sale.
I vacuum seal them, pop them in the freezer and use them whenever I need a quick meal or have friends drop by. They are also wonderful to slice up on top of a salad with my garlic dressing.

Marinade....for 12 Chicken Breasts

• 1/2 cup of port or sherry....I use blackberry port that we make.
• 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tsp of lemon juice
• 1 medium onion grated
• 3/4 cup of olive oil
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 6 crushed garlic cloves
• 1/2 tsp each of thyme, rosemary, oregana

Mix this all together and let sit for about 1/2 hour to marry all the flavors.

Chicken Breasts

Take one of the breasts and gently pound it to about 1/2" thickness, you want to crush it and not break it about. If you don't have a mallet you can use the side of a rolling pin. Continue with the rest of the breasts and put them in the marinade in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

Grilling your Breasts

I find that 12 breasts fit nicely on my grill.
Set your grill to high, lie the chicken on the grill and turn down the grill. Cover and hover. You want to brown them but not burn or dry them out.
In total it's about 15 minutes.
I then transfer them to a cookie sheet and inside to cool. Then I vacuum seal them and into the freezer they go.
