  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts

Method
 

  1. Start by placing the chicken breasts in a large freezer bag. Using a meat pounder, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness.
  2. Whisk together the Chick-fil-a sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag tightly and give it a gentle shake.
  4. Store the bag in the fridge for 4 to 24 hours, flipping occasionally.
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  6. Preheat your grill or cast iron grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the chicken on the grill.
  7. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF, about 6 to 8 minutes per side.
  8. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  9. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the marinated chicken before cooking. Ensure it’s well-sealed to avoid freezer burn.
  • Pairing: Serve with grilled veggies or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • Meal Prep: Marinate the chicken ahead of time for a quick dinner option during busy weekdays.
  • Variations: Try adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the marinade for a different flavor profile.
  • Grilling Tips: Preheat your grill to ensure a good sear and prevent sticking.
  • Tenderizing: Pounding the chicken helps it absorb the marinade better.
