Cathy's Grilled Chicken Marinade

Here's another awesome recipe from my fabulous, gorgeous, talented, youthful, vibrant, funny, caring and all-around wonderful sister, Cathy
Thanx Cath!

Joe,
Here's my chicken marinade. It doesn't have a name. And it just sort of evolved from trying different combinations of things I had in the pantry. Anyway, here's what I finally came up with, and I must say, it's tasty.
C.


Large package boneless chicken breasts

Whisk together the following:
1/4 cup Kraft Zesty Italian dressing (or whatever Italian dressing you like)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp. Montreal Steak seasoning
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. soy sauce (low sodium)
Optional: a couple of splashes of orange juice

Either pound chicken pieces to flatten them out a bit, or cut them cross-wise so they are half as thick. Pour marinade over chicken (either in a shallow dish or in a ziploc bag) and let sit in fridge for as long as you can. Overnight is great, but a couple of hours is fine, and even 1/2 to 1 hour will work, although chicken won't be quite as flavorful.

Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and grill chicken pieces on outdoor grill or inside on a good grill pan. Serve with your favorite side dishes.

Note: This is also really good cold, sliced into strips & served in your favorite pasta salad.

Tip:
Goes great with Roasted Asparagus and Rosemary Roasted Potatoes, as shown in the picture.

Shish Kabab Marinade

This marinade is fabulous on anything you can grill. London broil, chicken, seafood, veggies, portobello mushrooms, ALL delicious! Yes, of course, it's great on shish kabobs too. My fabulous, gorgeous, talented, youthful, vibrant, funny, caring and all-around wonderful sister, Cathy, gave me this recipe. I'm not sure where she got it, but like I always say, since she gave it to me, she gets the credit!

Btw, not only is it awesome on th3 grill, but also try it on baked foods as well! Marinate some boneless chicken overnight, then place it on a tray and bake at 350 until it's cooked through. Be sure to keep a little extra aside from the raw meat so you can drizzle a little extra over the top when serving. SO good!

Thanx, Sister!

1 8oz bottle of Wishbone Regular Italian dressing
2 tbs. brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce

Whisk all ingredients together and use it to marinate whatever you'd like to cook, especially if you're cooking on the grill!

That's all there is to it! Love it!

Tip:
The key to this recipe is the Italian dressing. It MUST be Wishbone brand and it MUST be REGULAR Italian. Not lite, not zesty, not robusto, just REGULAR Wishbone Italian dressing. If you use something else, you'll get an entirely different result. And by the way, if you like to order Chinese food and you have a million packets of soy sauce leftover, 7 packets = 1/4 cup. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'!
