4 Quick Grilled Chicken Marinades - Danielle Walker
Did you know my new seasoning blends also make excellent marinades? This recipe for 4 Quick Grilled Chicken Marinades is one my favorite meal prep hacks these days. I purchase extra meat and when I’m making dinner I take a little time to quickly make up a few marinated chicken packets in these reusable food bags (and I label them with these) before popping them in the freezer. You can eyeball the measurements to save time, and it’s so convenient to reach for a packet on a busy night to throw into the Instant Pot with some veggies, or thaw in warm water and throw on the grill. Here’s four of my most-used marinade recipes!

  1. Linda Arleen Zanyk says:

    Are any of these seasonings spicey?

    • Danielle says:

      Hi! My bottled taco seasoning is mild, but if you have a copy of Healthy In a Hurry, you can make the taco seasoning and omit the spicy components (or add more to make it spicier if you’re looking to add more of a kick!).

    What do you use to write on your stasher bags?
    Does it come off easily?

    • Danielle says:

      Hi Heidi! I use non-toxic markers; I have them linked at shop.daniellewalker.com – just search for “markers.” I hope you enjoy these recipes and thanks for your support!
