Italian Chicken Marinade: A Flavorful and Easy Grilling Essential

Italian Chicken Marinade is a simple yet flavorful way to prepare chicken for grilling. Infused with the zesty and herby notes of Italian dressing, combined with garlic and salt, this marinade enhances the juiciness and tenderness of the chicken. Perfect for barbecues, meal prep, or an easy weeknight dinner, this dish is both quick and delicious.

  • Total Time: 4 hours

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Instructions

  1. Whisk salad dressing, garlic powder, and salt together in a shallow baking dish; add chicken breasts and turn to coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade.

  4. Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 7 to 8 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
