How to cook:
- Use a meat mallet or a rolling pin wrapped in saran wrap to pound the chicken breasts until they are all the same thickness. The chicken needs salt and pepper.
- Add the marinade to the chicken in a zip-top bag or baking dish. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, but 2+ hours is better.
- Set the grill's temperature to 400 degrees. To keep food from sticking, soak a paper towel in vegetable or canola oil and rub it over the grill grates with tongs.
- Take the chicken out of the marinade and put it on the grill right away. For 4–5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, put the meat on the grill.
- Turn the oven on and set it to 375 degrees. In a baking dish, put the chicken and the marinade. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how thick the chicken is, or until the inside temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.

COOKING TIPS:
Can you marinate chicken too long in Italian dressing?
Extending the marinating time enhances the flavor, resulting in a more distinct taste. However, it is possible to marinate for as short as 30 minutes. It is advisable to avoid marinating for over 12 hours, as this can lead to meat breakdown and alterations in texture due to prolonged exposure to the marinade.
Is it okay to marinate chicken in olive oil?
The chicken remains moist and juicy thanks to the inclusion of extra virgin olive oil. Furthermore, the tenderizing effect of fresh lemon juice and balsamic vinegar helps to break down the chicken fibers.
Can you put Italian dressing on chicken?
Indeed! Grilling chicken that has been soaked in Italian dressing is a breeze - simply take it out of the marinade and cook on a medium-high heat grill until it is fully cooked.
How long should I marinate chicken?
Allow 5-6 hours for optimal flavor and texture. If time is limited, even a 10-minute marinade will enhance the taste of the chicken's exterior. Marinating without acidic ingredients can extend the duration, but it will not enhance the results, so it is advisable to limit the maximum time to 24 hours.
