Ingredients
– 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup Italian dressing (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
1-First, marinate the chicken by placing the 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a container or resealable bag and pouring 1 cup of Italian dressing over them. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 6 hours to let the flavors soak in.
2-Second, preheat an indoor grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat, around 375 to 450°F.
3-Third, lightly oil the grill grates to keep the chicken from sticking.
4-Fourth, place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
5-Fifth, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to lock in juices. Total grilling time is 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness, with marinating taking 30 minutes to 6 hours and resting just a couple of minutes. For the best outcome, use this method to achieve tender, smoky chicken that pairs well with salads or veggies, as suggested in the recipe notes.
