4
ingredients
- 4 thick boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4.92 ml kosher salt
- 2.46 ml fresh cracked black pepper
- 4.92 ml garlic powder
- 226.79 g bottle Italian salad dressing (I recommend Wishbone or prepared Good Seasons. DO NOT use fat free!) or 226.79 g bottle caesar salad dressing (I recommend Wishbone or prepared Good Seasons. DO NOT use fat free!)
directions
- Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry.
- Sprinkle both sides of the breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, using more or less to taste.
- Put chicken in a dish and add about 1/3 cup of the salad dressing, making sure all of the chicken is coated. Cover. A plastic bowl with a lid works well.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour or two.
- Grill over medium direct heat for 8-10 minutes or until juices run clear.
- Remove from grill to a cutting board, cover with foil and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
- Slice breasts on a diagonal crosswise in 1/4 inch slices.
- Toss slices on a shallow serving platter with the remainder of the salad dressing coating all the chicken well. Use more dressing if desired.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
- Note: To prepare as an appetizer, cube chicken in small chunks, marinate as above, grill 3-5 pieces on small wooden skewers (soaked in water), brush on salad dressing and serve.

This is a good basic marinade recipe. I just don't understand why it says DO NOT USE FAT FREE DRESSING. I use fat free Italian EVERY time I make this and it always turns out GREAT. I also like to use minced garlic and a touch of honey. Lemon or lime juice also works well. I let my chicken marinate for at least 3 hours. I encourage everyone to use fat free dressing. It cuts calories without cutting flavor, so why not?
