The Hippy Marinade (Easy Healthy Marinade Recipe)

Made with simple, clean ingredients, The Hippy Marinade is hands-down my fave marinade I came up with years ago for chicken, but use on everything.

This is hands-down my favorite and go-to marinade, and the one I use on just about everything. It’s made with simple, clean ingredients, is flavorful, slightly sweet, savory, and works whether you’re grilling, roasting, air-frying, baking, meal prepping, or tossing everything into the slow cooker.

With just a few pantry staples, this marinade adds big flavor without a lot of effort. It’s especially good on chicken breasts (whole or cubed), but also works great with steak, pork, shrimp, or roasted veggies and even as a dressing over salad and as a sauce in Asian-inspired skillets and bowls.

INGREDIENTS

• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

• 2 cloves (2 tsp) minced garlic

• 2 tbsp coconut aminos

• 1 tbsp Hippy All-Purpose Seasoning

• 1 tsp raw honey

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

• Pinch of sea salt and black pepper

If not using immediately, store the marinade in an airtight container.

DIRECTIONS

1. Add all ingredients to a bowl or jar.

2. Whisk or shake well until fully combined.

3. Pour over chicken or protein of choice and coat evenly.

4. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour before cooking for the best flavor. If using in a slow cooker, pour directly over protein of choice in the slow cooker and cook as directed.

Tips & Variations

• Add 1 tbsp Greek yogurt for a creamier, higher-protein marinade.

• Want more heat? Add red pepper flakes or hot honey.

• Double the batch and store extra in an airtight glass container in the fridge for easy meal prep.

Ways to Use It:

• Chicken breasts or thighs

• Cubed chicken for bowls or skewers

• Slow cooker chicken or beef

• Steak or pork

• Roasted or grilled vegetables
