Course: Entree

Cuisine: American

Servings: 4

Author: The Frugal Girls

Ingredients

• 4 thin sliced or flattened Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts fresh or thawed
• 2 oz. dry Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing Mix {two 1 oz. packets} OR 6 Tbsp Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix
• ½ cup Canola or Avocado Oil
• ¼ cup Red Wine Vinegar

Instructions

• In small mixing bowl, combine Red Wine Vinegar, Oil and Ranch Powder Mix, and stir well.
• Add mixture and chicken to Freezer Ziploc Bag.
• Place in the refrigerator to marinate for several hours or overnight, turning and flipping several times.
• When ready for dinner, remove the chicken from the bag, toss the marinade out, and get ready to grill!
• Grill your pre-marinated chicken on the grill outside {8 minutes on each side at 400 degrees}, or on a grill pan inside.
• If you’re not ready to cook it yet… after adding the chicken and marinade to the bag, place directly in the freezer for some pre-marinated chicken later! {just pull out of the freezer, and defrost in the fridge… letting all of the yummy flavors soak into the chicken} prior to cooking.

Notes

To flatten your chicken breast to an even thickness, simply place it between two large pieces of plastic wrap.  Then using the flat side of a meat mallet or tenderizer, gently pound your chicken breast flat, starting in the middle.
