Marinaded chicken is a flavorful dish made by soaking chicken in a seasoned liquid mixture before cooking. Typically, marinades include ingredients like oil, vinegar or citrus juices, herbs, spices, and sometimes yogurt or soy sauce, depending on the desired flavor profile. Originating from various cuisines, marinading is widely used in Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American dishes to enhance both taste and tenderness. This preparation method often adds moisture and depth to the chicken while allowing for versatility in seasoning. When made with olive oil and fresh herbs, it can be a heart-healthy option due to beneficial fats and antioxidants. However, marinades high in sugar or sodium may contribute to excessive calorie or sodium intake. Grilling, baking, or pan-searing marinaded chicken provides lean protein, making it a nutritious choice when balanced with vegetables and whole grains.
