Italian Grilled Chicken

Mmmmmm, Italian Grilled Chicken! This is the meal I wait all winter for. As soon as it’s warm enough to fire up the grill, this is the first thing on the menu! :)

This is the best tasting, most flavorful grilled chicken ever and it couldn’t be easier. It’s almost embarrassing how easy it is. It only has two ingredients. I didn’t even take a picture of the ingredients this time because it’s only two. Chicken and Italian Dressing. And don’t stop here if you don’t like Italian dressing. I can’t stand Italian dressing on salads, it’s way too vinegary. And who’s crazy idea was it to put something besides Ranch dressing on a salad anyway?? But that’s another topic for another day. Once you try chicken marinated in Italian dressing you’ll never go back. Really. Trust me. Make it tomorrow night. Cause it needs to marinate overnight. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s get on to this ridiculously simple recipe, shall we? :)

Italian Grilled Chicken

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 bottle Italian dressing

Rinse chicken and place in ziploc bag. Cover with Italian dressing and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Preheat grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grate, then grill for 6-8 mins per side.

And please, whatever you do, don’t overcook the chicken so that when you cut it, it’s bone dry and no juices come out! A perfectly cooked chicken breast will be tender and juicy when you cut into it. :) Don’t overkill the chicken, man! :D

    Ha,ha! That’s the way we grill our chicken. It comes out so moist doesn’t it? I love to have potato salad on the side or yellow rice (from the baggie.)

    I found that recipe in the Sunday paper about 4 years ago. It is so moist - my family always asks for it as soon as it warms up and we can use the grill. I have already fixed it in the winter(when we have those “little thaws” from time to time). Spring can’t come soon enough.

  5. Susan says:

    Try wrapping a slice of bacon around the chicken before grilling, that makes it scrumptious!!! ;o}

  6. Becky says:

    This was surprisingly delicious. I even made a side of cooked broccoli and drizzled Italian dressing on it before eating.

    This is what we had for super tonight! I love marinating my chicken in Italian dressing…I’ve started using the Tuscan Italian dressing and it is wonderful! I experiment with different types of Italian dressings.

    Oh, no! I was going to make the Nacho Chicken Bake I saw here once for supper tonight, but now I don’t see it anymore…..

    We tried it once and really liked it. I guess it got bumped. I was hoping to see what Amanda put with it for her meal.
