Easy Italian Dressing Grilled Chicken Recipe
This recipe for Italian Dressing Chicken Breast uses an already made marinade that you probably have in the refrigerator right now – Italian Salad Dressing. It has all the perfect ingredients for making a wonderful marinade that makes the chicken burst with flavor and tender juiciness.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless skinless pounded to even thickness of 1/2″-3/4″
- ½ cup Italian salad dressing
Instructions
- Begin by pounding the breasts thin.
- Place chicken breasts on a paper plate, cover with plastic wrap, and use meat pounding mallet to pound to 1/2″ even thickness.
- If you do not have a meat mallet, use a fork and pierce the breasts several times, especially on the thickest parts.
- Place chicken in a plastic zip bag with dressing and let sit overnight, or at least for a couple of hours.
- Preheat your George Foreman Grill for at least 5 minutes with the lid closed. Use ‘high’ setting if your grill has it.
- Place chicken on grill, close lid and let grill for 5 minutes.
- Check for doneness. You do NOT want any pink in the middle.
- An average 6 ounce chicken breast of 3/4" thick will take 4-6 minutes.
- Internal temperature should be 165 degrees.
Notes
- As with all chicken breast recipes on the George Foreman Grill, you’ll get the best results if you use thinner cuts of meat – 1/2″–3/4″ inch thickness at most.
- Having the meat be even thickness is very important too. Use a meat-pounding mallet to pound the breasts to an even thickness. It only takes a moment and can be the difference between having tough chicken and a delicious, tender meal.
