Another week of great meals prepared on Sunday night and cooked throughout the week! I love this method, for me it works so well! Chicken Marinade from here Picture credits also to food and family!

Recipe:3-4 chicken breasts
1 cup Italian dressing

Put the chicken breasts in a resealable, gallon-size plastic bag. Dump in the salad dressing and barbeque sauce. Shake, flip, and otherwise mix it all together. Let sit in the fridge for several hours or overnight, flipping the bag whenever you think about it. Grill as usual.

This was delicious and simple. I loved the tang that the Italian dressing added!
