Kittencal's Easy Marinade for Grilled Chicken

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

If you are in a hurry and want a great marinade for chicken this is it! marinade for about 6-8 hours, no longer than 8 hours as the vinegar will start to "cook" the chicken.... I find that Kraft Italian is the best for this and by the sounds of it this marinade works on beef too so you might want to give that a try!

• Total Time: 6 hrs
• Prep Time: 6 hrs
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 10

• 1 (475 ml) bottle kraft Italian salad dressing (not low-fat)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional but good to add in I always do)
• ¼ cup vegetable oil or ¼ cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste, the more the better I say!)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. In a large bowl mix all ingredients together until well blended.
2. Add in chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
3. When ready to grill, remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
4. Season the chicken with seasoning salt and pepper, then grill.
5. There is enough marinade for up to 10 pieces of chicken.
6. Delicious!

This was a delicious marinade for chicken breasts. I halved the recipe to marinate four chicken breasts and they turned out sooo yummy. I will be using this marinade again..thank you!

Perfect marinade for boneless chicken breasts! They smelled sooo good when they came off the grill and tasted even better. Thanks so much!
