This recipe is both simple and incredibly flavorful, making it a perfect choice for a quick weeknight dinner or a special meal to impress your guests.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the Italian salad dressing and teriyaki sauce.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl with the marinade. Stir well to combine.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Cover the dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the chicken breasts if desired and serve hot.
Tips:
- For best results, marinate the chicken breasts with the Italian dressing, teriyaki sauce, and minced garlic for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
- Ensure that the chicken is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption. Use a meat thermometer to be precise.
- Slice the cooked chicken breasts against the grain before serving. This will make the meat more tender and visually appealing.
- Serve the Teriyaki Garlic Chicken with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a fresh green salad to create a complete meal.
- Feel free to adjust the garlic and sauces to your taste preference. You can add more garlic for a stronger flavor or tweak the amounts of the Italian dressing and teriyaki sauce to suit your palate.
This Teriyaki Garlic Chicken is a wonderful balance of flavors that is sure to become a favorite in your household. The combination of Italian dressing, teriyaki sauce, and garlic creates a versatile and delicious dish that pairs well with a variety of sides. Enjoy your meal!
