How to Make Rosemary Caesar Grilled Chicken

This chicken is super simple to make. Whisk together olive oil, creamy caesar dressing, Worcestershire, rosemary, salt and pepper. Pour the marinade over chicken and refrigerate a few hours to overnight. When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the chicken on the grill until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.

  • I used Ken’s Creamy Caesar Dressing.
  • Can use any cut of chicken you prefer: breasts, thighs, legs, or tenders.
    • You can use boneless or bone-in chicken.
    • Depending on the size of your chicken breasts, you will want to cook the chicken for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. The chicken needs to have an internal temperature of 165ºF. Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken in the thickest part of the breast before eating.
  • I don’t have a grill. Can I cook the chicken on the stove? Yes! To cook chicken breasts without a grill, pan sear the chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400ºF for 10 minutes.
  • My number one tip for grilling chicken at home is to pound the chicken to an even thickness. We put our chicken breasts in a ziplock bag and pound out the hump with a meat mallet/pounder. If the chicken is an even thickness, it will cook more evenly. You won’t have one juicy end and one dry end.
  • Another tip is to use a charcoal starter so your chicken doesn’t taste like lighter fluid. Lighter fluid overpowers the flavors in the chicken. You don’t want to spend time marinating chicken and then just end up tasting lighter fluid.

  1. I will be trying this as soon as I remember to start a day ahead. I hope it's as good as your all time favourite marinade of mine – the one with equal parts Italian dressing and soy sauce. So good!!!!

  2. What Caesar dressing do you prefer? I have never bought any and would like to use the one you use when making this delicious sounding chicken. Thank you!
