Italian Marinated Chicken

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 1 hour
• total time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts (trimmed)

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup red or white wine vinegar

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons onion powder

2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoons dried thyme

1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

Place your chicken breasts in a gallon Ziploc bag with all ingredients for the Easy Homemade Italian Dressing. Seal the bag, squeezing out any excess air. Let the chicken marinate for at least one hour and up to 12 hours.

Grill or saute your chicken depending on your preference. I'm providing instructions for both below.

On the Grill

Remove each chicken breast from the bag and place on a hot grill over medium heat. Grill 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until done. (Juices should run clear.)

On the Stove

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil or another cooking fat to a skillet on the stove. Heat the oil over medium high heat. (You'll know it's ready when the chicken sizzles as you place it in the pan.) Add each chicken breast to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes. Flip your chicken. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. (Chicken should be firm to the touch when done and juices should run clear.)
