This is just seven different marinades. The steps are this:
You put the thaw (never frozen) chicken in a zip lock bag with the marinade, then freeze it.
Allow the chicken to thaw overnight, or by immersing the bag in a bowl of cold water for a couple hours.
Preheat oven to 425, cook chicken for appros 25 minutes, or until no longer pink, turning half way through the cooking time.
Allow to rest 5-10 minutes after cooking.
Easy peasy, healthy, and fast. Not bad tasting, either!
Each of these recipes serves 2, so we double it for our family. I generally quadruple it to make two batches at a time. :) You could also choose to not freeze the chicken, just marinate it for at least a couple hours. The flavor isn't as strong, but it still works!
