Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparation
Marinating the Chicken: Begin by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, combine ½ cup olive oil, ½ cup prepared ranch dressing, 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful and tender it will be.
Cooking the Chicken
Grilling the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the chicken for about 12-15 minutes, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through. If you don’t have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a grill pan or even bake it in the oven.
Preparing the Ranch Spread
Mix the Ranch Spread: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the ranch spread. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup grated Parmesan and ¼ cup ranch dressing. Mix until smooth and set aside.
