Savory Chicken Marinade Recipe

Take your chicken on a trip to flavor town this week when you try this Italian Savory Chicken Marinade Recipe!
Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time16 mins
Total Time21 mins
Course: Entree
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4
Author: The Frugal Girls

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. thin sliced or flattened Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts fresh or thawed
  • ⅔ cup Wish-Bone Italian Dressing
  • ⅛ tsp Pepper
  • ¼ cup Kikkoman Soy Sauce
  • ⅛ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ⅛ tsp Onion Powder

Instructions

  • In small mixing bowl, combine Italian Dressing, Soy Sauce, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Pepper, and stir well.
  • Add mixture and chicken to Gallon 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 until internal temperature of your chicken is 165 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.

    Can I ask why you use a freezer bag to marinate the chicken? Thanks 🙂

      Hi Emily ~ I prefer to use the gallon freezer bags as they are a lot stronger than the gallon storage bags. This will help prevent any potential leaks. Hope that helps! 🙂

    Can you bake this chicken instead of grilling?

      Hi Emily ~ yes, you can definitely bake it in the oven if you’d prefer that method.
