Lemon Marinade– Primal, Paleo, Clean Eating and Kid friendly

Simple meals don't have to be boring

I have been on a mission this year to make simple but tasty meals. The aim was to create recipes that can be prepared and cooked quickly on a busy weeknight.

We all struggle to make healthy and tasty meals while keeping on top of everything else in life.

This recipe is healthy, delicious and easy to make recipes that you can cook on a single tray in the oven. The preparation takes no more than 20 minutes, that is all of the slicing, dicing and mixing.

Each meal is portioned to feed four adults.

Marinade makes it better

This is my go to marinade for chicken at the minute. To free up some time on the weekends I have been bulk buying meat, preparing and then freezing the meat. Chicken has been the primary meat over the last few weeks but it can get boring quickly. Enter this amazing marinade. When we can't face boring plain chicken any more I pull the chicken out to defrost before we go to bed. Next morning I put the chicken in the marinade and let it hang out in fridge for the day. After our workouts I cook the chicken and stick it with some veggies.

Dinner sorted.

Lemon Marinade recipe

Ingredients

250ml plain yoghurt

2 garlic cloves

1tsp. chilli powder

1tbsp. coriander

juice & zest 1 lemon

Instructions

Finely mince the two garlic cloves, mix in a bowl with yoghurt, chilli powder, coriander and lemon juice and zest.

If marinating overnight you can add chicken and marinade to a zip lock bag and put it in the fridge if you are going to cook your chicken in a few hours just add the chicken to the bowl, cover the bowl and put it in the fridge.

When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove any excess marinade, and cook

The meat should remain very succulent because of the yoghurt.

Cook the meat however you like.
