We love using our grill as much as we can, especially in the fall and summer. One of our favorite things to h=make for dinner is grilled chicken. I love grilled chicken in many different forms, from kabobs like our chicken sauvlaki to barbecue its one of my favorite kinds of meals.

Today I want to share our absolute favorite grilled chicken recipe. This is a recipe I have been making for years. It’s easy to make, takes no time to prepare and tastes amazing alone, in a wrap, with some dip, or on a salad.

This grilled chicken recipe has a marinade that you let the chicken soak in for a couple of hours and you wont believe how easy it is….

All you need for this grilled chicken recipe is:

1/2 bottled Italian dressing
1/3 cup Montreal Chicken Seasoning
4-6 large chicken breasts

So let’s talk about this grilled chicken recipe for a minute.

I know that many people grill chicken and its a pretty easy process. This one is no different. To begin, I often like to butterfly by chicken breasts if they are thick. I want things to grill up quickly and this helps a lot.

Once they have been butterflied, I add half a bottle of Italian dressing into a gallon size zip lock bag. To that I add 1/3 cup Montreal Chicken Seasoning to the Italian dressing. I then add the chicken to the mix and let them sit and marinate for at least 5-6 hours. I don’t go over 12 hours though.

Once your chicken is done marinating, it’s time to grill it up! I make sure my grill is nice and hot! I also like to brush some oil on the grates to make sure the chicken doesn’t stick.

Once it is grilling, it’s usually about 8 minutes on each side. I think this depends on the grill you are using and what heat you prefer. I will check mine often to make sure it doesn’t overcook.

When it’s done, I like to slice it against the grain of the chicken. This way it’s easy for the kids and friends to grab a few pieces and put them on their plate. I have found that if I leave the chicken whole, there ends up being a lot more waste.

It is easy to grab what you need and the leftovers can be put in a bag and used for salads, or even just a good snack.

We like to eat them cold form the fridge, just a few on a plate for a snack or part of lunch with some fruits and veggies and you are good to go!

I love serving this with a salad with my homemade ranch dressing or even my pomegranate salad! This is also great with rice, or a baked potato. It’s such a versatile food element to have in your dinner arsenal. This grilled chicken recipe is easy to make and will quickly become a favorite.
