Ingredients

  • 16 oz. Seven Seas Viva Italian dressing
  • 2/3 c. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. oregano
  • garlic powder to taste
  • 1 (2 1/2 to 3 lb.) chicken

Instructions

  1. Mix Seven Seas Viva Italian dressing, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and garlic powder in a bowl.
  2. Soak the chicken in the marinade for several hours.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the chicken for 6 minutes on each side until cooked through.

Tips & Substitutions

For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken overnight rather than just a few hours. If Seven Seas Viva Italian dressing is unavailable, you can substitute with any tangy Italian dressing. Adding fresh herbs like basil or thyme can enhance the dish. If grilling isn't an option, consider baking the marinated chicken at 375°F for about 45 minutes. This dish pairs well with sides like roasted vegetables or a simple salad.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the grilled chicken with a side of garlic bread and a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. It also pairs beautifully with potato salad or steamed green beans. For a heartier option, consider serving with the Chicken Casserole Martin for a comforting dinner. A light white wine would complement the flavors nicely.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the microwave or oven; ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. For the best results, reheat the chicken in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes to maintain its juiciness and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use bone-in chicken parts instead of a whole chicken?

Yes, you can definitely use bone-in chicken parts. Just adjust the grilling time accordingly; they may take a bit longer to cook through. Ensure that the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.

Is it possible to bake the chicken instead of grilling?

Absolutely! If you prefer baking, preheat your oven to 375°F and place the marinated chicken in a baking dish. Bake for about 45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked, ensuring to baste it with the marinade halfway through for added moisture.

What can I serve with Seven Seas Chicken?

Seven Seas Chicken pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides. Consider serving it alongside grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, or a crisp coleslaw. For a comforting meal, you might also enjoy it with the Chicken Cheddar Bake, which complements the Italian flavors superbly.
