Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together Caesar dressing, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for enhanced flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Step 6
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Avoid overcooking to keep the chicken juicy.
Step 7
Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving whole.
Step 8
Garnish with additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
