Cooking Directions for Single Meal

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh basil and parsley, minced garlic, and salt. Shake well to create a vinaigrette marinade.
  3. Place the chicken into baking dish or plastic baggie and pour the marinade over the top. Cover with plastic wrap or seal, and marinate in the fridge overnight.
