This three-ingredient Easy Grilled Ranch Chicken is fuss-free and delicious. Enjoy this flavorful chicken on its own or add it to salads or sandwiches.
Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise (Note 1). Add to a large zipper-top bag.
Stir together the Italian dressing and ranch dressing mix. Pour the dressing mix over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the chicken to ensure it is completely coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for up to two hours.
Preheat an indoor grill pan (or outdoor grill) over medium heat.
Cook the chicken over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. (Note 2)
Serve immediately or cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Notes
Cutting the chicken breasts in half lengthwise creates smaller strips like tenders. These smaller pieces cook faster and more evenly.
After placing the chicken on the grill, let it be. The chicken will release from the grill when it is ready to be turned.
If using sauces high in sugar (such as barbecue sauce), wait until the last few minutes of cooking to baste the chicken. Sauces high in sugar burn easily.
