Instructions
How to Make Grilled Italian Dressing Chicken
- Marinate the Chicken: In a container or resealable bag, combine the boneless skinless chicken breasts with the Italian dressing. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 6 hours, to enhance the flavors.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high, around 375 to 450°F (190 to 232°C). If using an indoor grill pan, oil the grates generously to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the hot grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Aim for an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C) to ensure a juicy result.
- Rest the Chicken: After grilling, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
Notes
Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for added zest. Store leftover grilled chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.
