Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Marinade
- 1 cup Italian dressing
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the Italian dressing over them, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-204°C). Clean the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
- Rest the Chicken: Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices and keeps the chicken moist.
- Serve: Slice the chicken as desired and serve with your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables, salad, or rice.
Notes
- Marinating for longer than 2 hours can enhance flavor but avoid exceeding 8 hours to prevent meat from becoming mushy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked chicken without dryness.
- For extra grill marks and flavor, oil the grill grates lightly before cooking.
- Italian dressing can be replaced with other marinades like lemon herb or balsamic vinaigrette for variety.
