The secret to this dish lies in the marination process.

Once marinated, the chicken is grilled to perfection, creating a smoky char that complements the tangy barbecue sauce slathered on top. The combination of the savory dressing and the sweet, smoky barbecue sauce creates a mouthwatering experience that will leave your taste buds dancing.

Ingredients

  • 18 ounce barbecue sauce 
  • cup salad dressing italian-style
  •  chicken breast boneless skinless

Equipment

  • grill
  • ziploc bags

Directions

  1. Place frozen chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and cover with salad dressing. Seal bag and place in refrigerator and marinate until chicken is thawed (marinating frozen breasts until thawed permeates the meat with the dressing flavors).
  2. Lightly oil grill and preheat to high heat.
  3. Remove chicken breasts from marinade and grill 5 to 7 minutes each side, until they are barely done. Coat with barbecue sauce and cook just a few minutes more. Don't overcook, but check to make sure that the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
