So let’s talk about this grilled chicken recipe for a minute.

I know that many people grill chicken and its a pretty easy process.  This one is no different.  To begin, I often like to butterfly by chicken breasts if they are thick.  I want things to grill up quickly and this helps a lot. 

Once they have been butterflied, I add half a bottle of Italian dressing into a gallon size zip lock bag. To that I add 1/3 cup Montreal Chicken Seasoning to the Italian dressing.  I then add the chicken to the mix and let them sit and marinate for at least 5-6 hours.  I don’t go over 12 hours though.

Once your chicken is done marinating, it’s time to grill it up!  I make sure my grill is nice and hot!  I also like to brush some oil on the grates to make sure the chicken doesn’t stick. 

Once it is grilling, it’s usually about 8 minutes on each side.  I think this depends on the grill you are using and what heat you prefer.  I will check mine often to make sure it doesn’t overcook. 

When it’s done, I like to slice it against the grain of the chicken.  This way it’s easy for the kids and friends to grab a few pieces and put them on their plate.  I have found that if I leave the chicken whole, there ends up being a lot more waste.
