Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- 1 cup bottled ranch dressing
- 2 tsp jarred roasted garlic
- 1 cup Italian dressing
Main
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine 1 cup of bottled ranch dressing, 2 teaspoons of jarred roasted garlic, and 1 cup of Italian dressing thoroughly to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the chicken: Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight for best flavor infusion.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 204°C), preparing it for cooking the chicken.
- Grill the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve: Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juices.
Notes
- Marinating overnight enhances the flavor and tenderness of the chicken.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the chicken on a stovetop grill pan or bake it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes.
- Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- For a lower fat option, use low-fat ranch dressing.
