Marinate the Chicken

Add the chicken into a large ziplock bag and carefully add the marinade. Zip the bag tight. Toss and turn to coat the chicken. Place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Time to Assemble and Bake

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line a 9” X 5” loaf pan with parchment leaving 3 inches of paper folded over the long edge of the pan. Set aside.

Layer the chicken in the prepared loaf pan giving it a gently press between each layer.

Bake for 60 minutes or until a meat thermometer reaches 165° F in the center. Remove from the oven. Keep covered for 10 minutes. Drain the juices. Lift from the pan using the parchment wings onto a cutting board and slice.
