The combination of Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce and Italian dressing creates a marinade that infuses the chicken with mouthwatering flavors. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce
• 1 cup Italian dressing
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce and Italian dressing. Stir well to create a smooth and even marinade.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
   • Place the chicken breasts in a large sealable bag or a dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
   • Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the chicken, making it juicy and flavorful.
3. Grill the Chicken:
   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
   • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Discard any leftover marinade.
   • Grill the chicken for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and has a nice char on the outside.
4. Serve:
   • Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices and ensures the chicken remains tender.
