Grilled Marinated Chicken Breasts

Using bottled salad dressing, my cousin put a twist on a recipe I have used for years and came up with this super easy crowd pleaser. We have this with roasted potatoes and Greek salad all summer... and the kids love it!

• Ready In: 1 hr 40 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  thick boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1  teaspoon kosher salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  fresh cracked black pepper
• 1  teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 (8 ounce) bottle  Italian salad dressing (I recommend Wishbone or prepared Good Seasons. DO NOT use fat free!) or 1 (8 ounce) bottle  caesar salad dressing (I recommend Wishbone or prepared Good Seasons. DO NOT use fat free!)

Directions

1. Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry.
2. Sprinkle both sides of the breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, using more or less to taste.
3. 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.
4. Refrigerate for at least an hour or two.
5. Grill over medium direct heat for 8-10 minutes or until juices run clear.
6. Remove from grill to a cutting board, cover with foil and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
7. Slice breasts on a diagonal crosswise in 1/4 inch slices.
8. Toss slices on a shallow serving platter with the remainder of the salad dressing coating all the chicken well. Use more dressing if desired.
9. Serve hot or at room temperature.
10. 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.
