I’ve been playing around with some delicious 2-Ingredient marinades lately. I just love the flavors and how simple they are! I decided to combine some of the combinations and came up with this amazing Italian BBQ Ranch Grilled Chicken. It might be my favorite combination yet!

I whisked together Italian dressing, BBQ sauce, and Ranch dressing and let the chicken hang out in the mixture all day. Chicken Legs fired up the grill and we had dinner in no time. I make the full batch of this chicken even though there are only two of us. The leftovers are great on top of a salad, in a quesadilla, or on top of a yummy flatbread.

This chicken has quickly become a family favorite. We make this all year round. We like to serve the chicken with some green beans, potatoes, and a roll. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this grilled chicken:

Italian BBQ Ranch Grilled Chicken Recipe – simply 4 ingredient recipe! Let the chicken marinate all day in this yummy mixture for the yummiest, juiciest chicken ever! Leftover are great on top of a salad, in a quesadilla or on top of a yummy flatbread.

Equipment:

• Charcoal Chimney Starter
• Grilling Tongs
• Meat Thermometer
• Cast Iron Grill Pan

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup Italian dressing
• ¾ cup bottled ranch dressing
• ¾ cup BBQ sauce
• 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions:

• Whisk together Italian dressing, Ranch dressing and BBQ sauce. Pour over chicken and refrigerate a few hours to overnight.
• Remove chicken from marinade and grill until done, about 15-18 minutes.

Notes:

Cook chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.

To cook chicken without a grill, pan sear chicken breasts for 3 to 4 minutes on both sides. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400ºF for 10 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.

Can use marinade on any cut of chicken – breasts, thighs, tenders, drumsticks, wings.

Can use bone-in or boneless chicken. Adjust cooking time to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.

My favorite BBQ sauces are G. Hughes, Sweet Baby Rays, Stubbs, and Williamson Brothers.
