About This Recipe
"Great lemon-flavored chicken recipe. Serve with the onions for more flavor. A bit tart and very tender. Eight hours or overnight is the marinade time."
Ingredients
1 chicken breast, cut up in four pieces
½ cup lemon or lime juice
½ cup of canola oil or olive oil
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 large onion, sliced
1 tsp of salt and pepper
Directions
1. Combine lemon juice, turmeric, garlic and onion in a large bowl.
2. Add chicken, turning to coat with marinade.
3. Marinate in fridge for 8 hours or overnight, turn over the chicken once so marinade covers chicken.
