Let's Get Fancy: Citrus Ginger Chicken Marinade Recipe with Essential Oils

Citrus Ginger Chicken Marinade with Essential Oils

Takes 1-2 hr (including marinade time)
serves 2-4

Ingredients

• 1-2 drops wild orange essential oil
• 1-2 drops ginger essential oil
• 1-2 drops lemon essential oill
• ½ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup Soy Sauce
• 1-2 tbsp lemon Juice
• 1-2 pounds of boneless/skinless chicken breast

You will also need:

• Grill (or do what I did and use a George Foreman because it’s winter and plus the grill plates come off and go straight into the dishwasher)
• Glass* bowl or dish to marinate chicken in

Instructions

1. Mix together (in glass dish or bowl): olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and desired drops of essential oils.
2. Add chicken breast.
3. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
4. Grill chicken and add salt and pepper to taste.

That’s it! Super easy and delicious. I served the chicken with rice (Trader Joe's microwavable brown rice) and with fresh green beans (steamed and finished off in frying pan with olive oil, garlic, and a splash of soy sauce).

* I always recommend using glass or stainless steel with essential oils, never plastic.

Important Reminder: Be sure to use very high quality oils if you are ingesting them; a lot of oils available in stores and online have many synthetic ingredients that should not be consumed. If you are unsure about whether or not your oils are safe for ingestion or have any questions please feel free to contact me!
