Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Italian Grilled Chicken Marinade.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a shallow baking dish and whisk together some Italian-style salad dressing, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until everything is nicely blended.
Step 2
Next, add your chicken breasts to the dish, making sure to turn them around so they’re fully coated in that delicious marinade.
Step 3
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least four hours, or if you can wait, let it marinate overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 4
When you’re ready to cook, fire up your outdoor grill to high heat and give the grate a light oiling to keep the chicken from sticking.
Step 5
Take the chicken out of the marinade, giving it a gentle shake to remove any excess, and toss the leftover marinade away.
Step 6
Now, place the chicken on the hot grill and let it cook for about seven to eight minutes on each side.
Step 7
You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 8
For peace of mind, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma as your chicken grills to perfection, and get ready for a delicious meal that’s sure to impress!.
