Kittencal's Easy Marinade for Grilled Chicken

Recipe #163946 | 6 hours | 6 hours prep | add private note

If you are in a hurry and want a great marinade for chicken this is it! marinade for about 6-8 hours, no longer than 8 hours as the vinegar will start to "cook" the chicken.... I find that Kraft Italian is the best for this and by the sounds of it this marinade works on beef too so you might want to give that a try!

SERVES 10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (475 ml) bottle kraft Italian salad dressing (not low-fat)

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional but good to add in I always do)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste, the more the better I say!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl mix all ingredients together until well blended.
  2. 2
    Add in chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
  3. 3
    When ready to grill, remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
  4. 4
    Season the chicken with seasoning salt and pepper, then grill.
  5. 5
    There is enough marinade for up to 10 pieces of chicken.
  6. 6
    Delicious!

    This was a delicious marinade for chicken breasts. I halved the recipe to marinate four chicken breasts and they turned out sooo yummy. I will be using this marinade again..thank you!

    Perfect marinade for boneless chicken breasts! They smelled sooo good when they came off the grill and tasted even better. Thanks so much!

    I also have been using the recipe for awhile now. My sister shared this simple technique with me. Once the chicken breasts are defrosted, take a meat fork and poke holes into the meat and then place meat and salad dressing into a zip lock bag to marinade.
