Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken breast, boneless, skinless
- 1/2 cup bbq sauce
- 1/4 cup italian dressing
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
Instructions
- Whisk together the BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, apple cider vinegar, and pressed garlic to create the marinade.
- Poke chicken all over with a fork, then place it in a dish or zip top bag and pour the marinade over the chicken, covering it completely.
- Refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat and brush with oil to prevent sticking. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Marinating for longer intensifies the flavor, so consider marinating overnight.
Always check chicken with a thermometer to ensure it is fully cooked.
Any leftover marinade can be used as a sauce after boiling for safety.
