Tarragon-Citrus Marinade
by:
Marinades turn out gentle, pleasant results, a good match for the mild flavor of breast meat. The seasoning process happens slowly, so allow at least an hour (and up to eight) for the marinade to soak in. Plan on using 2 cups marinade for every 4 breast halves. Include an acidic ingredient like vinegar, citrus juice or wine for flavor and to tenderize the meat, and a teaspoon or two of oil to help keep the chicken moist.

Cooks' note:
Actually, there is one rule about marinades. When they include an acid, be sure to use non-reactive containers. These are dishes and bowls made of glass, plastic, or ceramic. Containers made of aluminum or other metals react with acids and add a metallic flavor to food. My favorite container is a resealable plastic bag. I set the bag in a bowl so the liquid comes up the sides of the food and covers it evenly. If there is not enough liquid, I turn the bag over every hour or so.
