I’m going to show you how to make some of the best tasting chicken I’ve ever had outside of a restaurant. Actually, better than some of the chicken I’ve had inside a restaurant. I made it myself, with the help of Lawry’s.

To make the chicken you’ll need a bottle of Lawry’s Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato Marinade and some chicken. You’ll also need a vegetable and a starch to round out the meal.

It’s super easy to make. First, place the chicken in a bag. I used 2 pounds of boneless breast.

Now pour the marinade into the bag. Seal the bag and squish the marinade all around, making sure that it covers all of the chicken. Place the bag in the fridge for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350.

Remove the bag from the fridge. Open the bag and pour the contents into a baking dish. Bake for an hour.

I absolutely love the flavor of this marinade! The smell is great too! The chicken I made this way was moist, tender and so tasty. I served it over rice with green beans. I also tried the Szechuan Sweet & Sour BBQ. It was tasty with a little bit of heat.

WIN IT!

ONE WINNER will receive a Lawry´s “Get Grilling Kit” that includes both of the new Lawry´s marinades – Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato and Szechuan Sweet & Sour BBQ – a set of skewers and a marinating dish.
