Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk everything together until well-blended.
- Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a 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, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
- If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. If grilling, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). If baking, place the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps keep the chicken juicy. Serve warm with your favorite sides and enjoy the burst of flavor!
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Try adding vegetables to the marinade, such as bell peppers or zucchini, for a one-pan meal.
- Use a grill basket for smaller pieces of chicken or vegetables to prevent them from falling through the grates.
- Don’t skip the resting time after cooking; it allows the juices to redistribute.
