Notes
Chicken: We love using this for chicken breasts or thighs. Marinate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight. Pan fry, bake, grill or cook in the Instant Pot for 15 minutes. Shred or chop the chicken for a salad or add-in to another recipe, or just… eat!Pork: We used pork chops and loved it. Marinate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight. Grill, pan fry, do your thing, brushing the pork with a little reserved sauce during cooking to make it extra juicy and yummy.Tofu: We used extra firm tofu and loved it. For best results, squeeze all the water out of the block of tofu and then marinate the intact block of tofu overnight. The next day, cut the block into cubes and pan-fry, brushing with reserved marinade.Portobello Mushroom Caps: My personal favorite! Marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Grill or pan-fry until nice and roasty and sticky and juicy. Veggies: Works great with just about any veggies, no instructions needed. Beef: Not a fan of this marinade with beef due to the lemon addition.
