Saucy Cajun Chicken Breasts

Saucy Cajun Chicken Breasts

Quick, bottled barbecue sauce, salad dressing and chicken breasts. What could possibly be easier?! The sauce is tangy, spicy and barely sweet. Note: Do NOT overcook the chicken! The closer to barely done it is, while still cooked through, the juicier and more tender it will be. It seems 99% of all restaurants grossly over cook their chicken breasts!

Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Lightly oil grill and preheat to high heat.
Step 2
Place frozen chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and cover with salad dressing. Seal bag and place in refrigerator and marinate until chicken is thawed (marinating frozen breasts until thawed permeates the meat with the dressing flavors).
Step 3
Remove chicken breasts from marinade and grill 5 to 7 minutes each side, until they are barely done. Coat with barbecue sauce and cook just a few minutes more. Don't overcook, but check to make sure that the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Ingredients

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Italian-style salad dressing
  • 1 (18 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce
