Italian dressing soy sauce marinade

In my family we eat a lot of chicken… a lot! We love to grill and it’s fun to find new ways to change up our chicken.

A few weeks ago, I dumped 2 ingredients together and it was delicious! You can grill it, bake it, or even throw it the crockpot and I think you will be surprised how full of flavor this chicken is!

You might be skeptical at first about this recipe only calling for 2 ingredients. However, once you try it, you will love it. 🙂

It gives the meat the best flavor and tastes delicious. Oh and we also love this chicken taco marinade that is super easy.

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes per side until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it set for at least 5 minutes before cutting.

What to serve with this easy chicken recipe?

The possibilities are endless and this chicken is delicious with just about anything.

We love mashed potatoes and green beans. It is simple but delicious.

Rice is also tasty. We actually keep this in the freezer so it is so easy on busy nights.

Learn how to freeze rice and you can make this meal even easier. I love to grab the rice from the freezer and we all can enjoy a really easy meal.

We do this for lots of meals and it helps put together a quick meal. If you are not freezing rice, it is such a time saver.

Sometimes we also add a simple side salad or learn how to steam broccoli in the microwave for another easy side idea.

This meal is also good with asparagus. This oven roasted asparagus is a family favorite and it is very simple and quick to make.

Enjoy this instant pot baked potatoes recipe in about 15 minutes.

Can you use something other than chicken breast?

Yes! This is delicious with chicken thighs, drumsticks, pork and even salmon. Oh and it’s amazing on shrimp too. 🙂

We often just use the marinade on what we have in the freezer or can get on sale at the grocery store.

By shopping when things are on sale I save money on groceries and it really helps our budget. Saving money and feeding a big family can be accomplished.

We normally buy boneless skinless chicken breasts but if something else is on sale, that is what we buy. 🙂

  1. substitute teriyaki sauce for the soy thats good too use that all the time nice to baste a steak with

  2. I have a friend of mine who served me this. I absolutely LOVED IT! I asked her what the ingredients were, and she stated just Italian Dressing and Soy Sauce. I was stunned to learn that was all it was for the GREAT flavor!

  3. I’ve used this on chicken and pork chops. I’ve also used this for deer meat. It works so well and doesn’t need to marinate for long at all. It’s quick, easy, and tasteful. I definitely recommend!

  4. I use this marinade for my steaks and they’re sooo tender and barely need steak sauce. Now I have better proportions to use. Before, I was just eyeballing it. Thanks for your recipe.

  5. 5 stars
    My guys really liked this on the boneless, skinless chicken thighs that was dinner last night. Added baked potatoes and veggies to round out the meal.
