Products I used:

  • Basting Brush– This is perfect for adding a little more dressing to the chicken on the grill.
  • Freezer bag holders – Totally optional but these are like having another set of hands. We use them all the time when adding food to baggies.
  • Grilling tongs – You definitely need these to flip the chicken on the grill.

Do you love to grill as much as our family? I personally love how easy it is to cook dinner and how fun it is because the kids are playing outside while I am grilling. Plus, I have very little cleanup after dinner!

You will definitely get plenty use out of these supplies if you grill as much as we do!

How to make Catalina Chicken on the grill:

1. First, put the chicken in a large ziplock bag. I like to use the gallon size and one of these helpful hands free holders here. If you don’t have any bags on hand, just use a large bowl.

2. Second, add the salad dressing all over the chicken breasts. Add the salt and pepper. Seal the ziplock bag and shake everything up to make sure all of the chicken is well coated.

This is best if you can marinade the chicken the night before. The flavor is so amazing. However, if you are short on time, try to at least let it marinade for 4 hours.

3. Next, grill the chicken on medium high heat. It does take long at all to cook and usually less than 10 minutes per side depending on how large your chicken is.

Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees.

4. Lastly, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes and enjoy!
