Chardonnay Marinated Chicken Or Pork Recipes

CHARDONNAY MARINATED CHICKEN OR PORK

Steps:

• 1. Combine all of the ingredients listed in a gallon ziplock baggie and mix together well. Reserve 1/4 of marinade for grilled veggies.
• 2. Place 4-6 chicken breasts or porkloin chops into the remaining marinade and refrigerate flat for 30 minutes to overnight. Turn the meat 1/2 way through marinate time. (I try to bring my meat close to room temp before cooking)
• 3. Preheat BBQ grill and grill each side of chicken breasts or porkloin chops for 4-6 minutes until no longer pink inside. Do not over cook they will become dry.
• 4. While meat is grilling chop fresh zucchini, button mushrooms, red & yellow bell pepper & green onion into bite size pieces
• 5. Place veggies in foil and pour reserved marinade over these veggies. Grill for approximately 10 minutes and serve with pork or chicken.
• 6. **Tip** purchase 4 pack mini bottles of white wine or red wine for cooking purposes to avoid opening an entire bottle of wine.
