Equipment

  • Gallon Ziplock Bag
  • Large Bowl or Medium Bowl (Optional)
  • Hot Grill

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breasts
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon horseradish
  • 12 ounces lemon lime soda not diet
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Mis all ingredients together in a Ziploc bag or a large mixing bowl. Pour marinade into a plastic resealable bag if you didn't mix it in one. Add 6 raw chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes (although the longer you go, the better they taste! I usually marinate my chicken for at least 8 hours or overnight).
  • Rub your grill with olive oil so the chicken doesn't stick. Place chicken on your grill grates. Grill chicken over medium-high heat until cooked all the way through.
  • Let the chicken rest and cut it to your liking.
  • Eat the grilled chicken pieces by themselves, with a side dish, or over a salad. You can even put it in the fridge and save it for the next day!

Notes

Most people don’t really have 7 Up on hand, so if you are looking for a replacement drink, we have a few recommendations:
  • Sprite (or Sprite Zero)
  • Ginger ale
  • Carbonated Lemon Lime Soda
  • Mt. Dew
  • Coke or Diet Coke
