While grilling seems like a perfectly harmless summer activity, Janis Jibrin, lead nutritionist at TheBestLife.com, warns it has a dark side. Cooking food over a high, open flame can produce cancer-causing substances.

9 ways you can grill safely

But this marinade, used in an experiment by Lawrence Livermore Labs, reduces formation of those substances by up to 95 percent in grilled chicken.


Servings: Serves 6
Ingredients
  • 3 medium crushed garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. grainy mustard
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 lime , juiced
  • 1/2 lemon , juiced
  • 6 Tbsp. olive oil
  • Pepper to taste
  • 6 chicken breast halves
Directions
Combine all ingredients except for chicken in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Marinate chicken in liquid several hours or overnight (refrigerated).

Bring to room temperature before charcoal-broiling.

Grill chicken until cooked through. Serve.
