Grilled chicken in garlic, Dijon and turmeric marinade

Bulk recipe for the week · main course · grill

My current favorite chicken marinade. Blend it in a food processor or whisk it by hand, and add the olive oil last.

This is a bulk recipe: 3 to 4 lbs of chicken at 8 to 10 oz per meal. How far that goes depends on the size of your household.

Ingredients

What you need

  • 3 to 4 lbs chicken
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. oregano
  • 1 tbsp. turmeric powder
  • 2 tbsp. champagne vinegar
  • A splash of lemon juice
  • About ½ cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Method

How to make it

Blend the garlic, Dijon, oregano, turmeric, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a food processor, or whisk them by hand. Add the olive oil last, until the marinade is thick, about ½ cup.

Slice the chicken thin, with one cut lengthwise. Coat it in the marinade.

Grill with the lid closed, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Flip once.

Keeps 3 to 4 days in the fridge. Store it in its own container and build the plate when you eat.

Cook once, eat well all week

This recipe is one of the proteins in my 90-minute meal prep: cook components instead of meals, and build a different plate every night.
