Ingredients
Instructions

- Soak the chicken in the marinade for several hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- 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.
