Teriyaki garlic chicken

Teriyaki Garlic Chicken is a delightful fusion dish that combines the tangy flavor of Italian salad dressing with the rich, savory taste of teriyaki sauce, all accentuated by the aromatic presence of garlic. 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:

1/2 cup italian salad dressing
120g
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
140g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 chicken breasts
240g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- 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.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
- 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.
3. Preheat and Prepare:
- 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.
4. Cook the Chicken:
- 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.
5. Rest and Serve:
- 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!
