Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup Italian dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the Italian dressing, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. This flavorful blend will infuse the chicken with a delightful taste and aroma.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, enhancing its taste and tenderness.
- Preheat the Grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat. This temperature is ideal for cooking the chicken thoroughly without drying it out.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess liquid. Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. This ensures that the chicken is cooked through while remaining juicy and flavorful.
- Serve with Lemon Wedges: Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges. The fresh citrus adds a zesty finish that complements the savory marinade.
