Directions

Combine all ingredients except the chicken in a large bowl. Beat together until well blended.
Place chicken in the bowl with marinade. Massage the marinade into the chicken until well coated. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 8 hours.
Pre-heat the grill or broiler.
Grill or broil the chicken about 10 minutes each side until browned and cooked through.

Chef Tips

Bring marinated meats to room temperature before grilling.

Use a gallon resealable plastic bag to marinate chicken. Put the raw chicken in the bag, then pour the marinade over it. Squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible and seal. Massage the bag to evenly distribute the marinade and chill for 8 hours.

While bone in chicken may be tastier, if you prefer boneless when trying this Italian-Style Grilled Chicken Breasts dish, make sure to marinate whole boned chicken beasts, not the thin sliced breasts.
