3 Ingredient Easy Grilled Chicken Marinade

It was my Birthday on Thursday this week and my one friend got me a new grill and I love it. It is so much different then a smoker. Smokers are meant to be used for cooking food low and slow and this grill heats up to 500 degrees so fast compared to a smoker. The only thing I've never done before is change out the gas tank.

I'm a fan of using store bought products and this easy grilled chicken recipe has ingredients you can  find at the grocery store. If you really want to go all out you can make your own homemade Italian Dressing or Teriyaki sauce. There are plenty of recipes on the internet out there for that but I'm a fan of easy and you will want to keep Italian Dressing and Teriyaki sauce in your fridge all Summer long. Those two ingredients would also be good for steak or pork chops.

Ingredients Needed

1⁄2cup Italian dressing

1⁄2cup teriyaki sauce

2 cloves minced garlic

4 -6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves. Can also use chicken thighs or even a whole chicken. 

Other Marinade Ingredients to Keep in Your Pantry 

If you want to start experimenting with making different marinades on your own try keeping these extra items in your pantry or fridge. The recipe above is a good base marinade to start off with for beginners. Once you learn how to make your own marinades you can start emssing with flavor. 

Honey, Dijon mustard, Soy sauce, lemon juice, vinegar, and oils. 

Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, cumin,  ginger, oregano, black pepper and salt 

Fresh herbs such as parsley and cilantro, limes, and lemons

How to Make Grilled Chicken Marinade 

In a bowl, add the Italian dressing, teriyaki sauce and minced garlic; stir or whisk to combine.

Add the chicken breast halves; cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

Grill over hot coals for approximately 10 minutes on each side or until juices run c

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I serve this with?

Grilled chicken can go so well in so many dishes and recipes. Try adding it quesadillas or a make a burrito during the week. 

Make a grilled chicken sandwich and add some cheese, lettuce, and tomato on top. 

How to store leftovers: Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge. 

This can be prepped the day ahead.

How to Properly Grill Chicken

Drizzle olive oil on chicken breast. Then season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Using long tongs, place chicken breasts on grill and cook, covered on high, 3 minutes. Flip breasts and continue cooking on high, 3 more minutes. Reduce grill heat to low and flip chicken again. To cook the chicken faster split the breasts in half. Larger chicken breasts will take longer to grill of course. If you are using this marinade you will not need to drizzle olive oil over your chicken.
