Lemon-Lime Chicken Taco Marinade
The best and only chicken taco marinade you’ll ever need!
- Prep Time: 5 minutes active, 30 minutes+ inactive
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes active
- Yield: meat to feed 4 people tacos
Ingredients
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of ½ lemon
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
¼ cup oil
2 tablespoons of your favorite taco seasoning, I use McCormick
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a Ziploc bag, add 3-4 chicken breasts. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes-3 hours. I’ve had great success with both times. To cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees and place chicken on a pan covered in foil. Either spray the foil with cooking spray or use a pastry brush to brush a light layer of melted butter so the chicken doesn’t stick. Cooking times vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. For me it’s typically 15-17 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes and then cube or shred
Notes
If we owned a grill in Finland I would definitely grill this. I often will use our counter top, George Forman, type grill to cook this chicken.
Serve with your favorite taco toppings on your fresh made tortillas! My favorite toppings for this meal are lettuce, guacamole, fresh pico, and cheese.
