How Long to Marinade Chicken Breasts

Marinating chicken is an easy way to add flavor to your chicken. We recommend marinating chicken for at least 30 minutes. But you can marinate as long as 12 hours.

If I know that I am making this recipe, I will place my chicken in a ziploc bag with the marinade. Then place it in the fridge in the morning. Then by the time we are ready to start dinner, then I just place my chicken on the grill and it is ready to go.

You can also use Italian Salad Dressing as a substitute.
