Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Italian dressing
  • 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 to 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

  • Whisk together 1 cup Italian dressing and 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce in a bowl until combined.
  • Place 4 to 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  • Refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
  • Preheat a grill or a cast iron grill pan to medium-high heat and oil the grates or pan lightly to prevent sticking.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Grill the breasts 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest a few minutes before serving.

Equipment

  • Charcoal Chimney Starter
  • Grilling Tongs
  • Cast Iron Grill Pan
  • Meat Thermometer

Notes

  • Marinate at least 1 hour for good flavor.
  • For best results, refrigerate overnight.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
  • Discard leftover marinade that touched raw chicken.
