Italian Grilled Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts
A nice Italian flair that was very moist and a nice change of pace from the usual BBQ on the grill.
I wanted Italian on the grill. I was going to fuss with cheese and tomato but really got lazy.
So I went Googling again and all I could find was multiple recipes with two ingredients... the chicken and a bottle of Italian dressing. I'm lazy but not that lazy. A few had dry Italian seasoning. So I substituted for that and went with it.
Rating 9.0 Taste 9.0 Ease 9.0
Notes: If you want to be a wimp, you could use dry Italian seasoning. Also you need to know your grill and what parts run hot and what parts run cool. So pay attention and you'll get the hang of it or you chicken will be hockey pucks.
Tools: Nothing special
Ingredients:
2 Skinless boneless chicken breast2 T olive oil
Salt and Pepper
1 T Italian seasoning
Italian Seasoning
Equal parts dried basil, oregano, marjoram, rosemary and thyme
I used 1 T each and save the extra
Instructions:
1) Preheat grill on high, clean and oil grates.
2) Mix Italian seasoning in small airtight container suitable for storage.
3) Trim chicken breast and flatten to no more than 3/4 inch thick either by hand pressure or by meat mallet.
4) Mix oil and 1 T Italian seasoning.
5) Salt and pepper lightly on both sides then brush both sides with the oil mixture.
6) Allow to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes with grill is heating.
7) If you have a hot running grill, decrease to medium. I used a cooler section of mine on high.
8) Flip about every 6-7 minutes until internal temp is 165 or better. 23 minutes total on my grill.

Laugh if you want, but bottled Italian dressing was the first chicken marinade when my buddies and I were 18/19 learning to cook on our own.
But taking your approach is much more tailored to personal tastes! Then again, I didn't have such a nice grill back then either:)
I remember using it 20 years ago but I much prefer the make your own method if possible for most recipes.
I'm working on a Jerk recipe and I think I will wimp and reach for the jar. Way more work than I want to do but Italian was simple.
This looks really good.Wonder if I would used my fresh herbs to make this juicy recipe.

Really almost any spice recipe works. Just know your grills hot spots and avoid them or turn the heat down and take a little longer
