Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Italian dressing
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a container or resealable bag and pour the Italian dressing over them. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 6 hours, allowing the flavors to permeate the meat.
- Preheat the grill: Heat an indoor grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook another 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) and chicken is cooked through.
- Rest the chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve: Slice or serve whole with your choice of side dishes.
Notes
- Store grilled chicken in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Slice or shred before freezing for easier reheating.
- Marinating time can be as short as 30 minutes, but longer marinating up to 6 hours will enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
- Oil the grill grates well to prevent sticking and get nice grill marks.
