Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Marinade
- ½ cup Chick-fil-A sauce
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pound the chicken: Place chicken breasts in a large freezer bag and gently pound them with a meat mallet to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
- Prepare the marinade: Whisk together the Chick-fil-A sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts inside the bag, seal tightly, and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Cook the chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the chicken on medium-high heat until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and juicy.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken for longer (up to 24 hours) intensifies the flavor and tenderizes the meat.
- If grilling is unavailable, cooking the chicken in a skillet over medium heat works well.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF for food safety.
- To keep the chicken moist, avoid overcooking and let it rest a few minutes before serving.
