Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
- 0.5 cup ranch dressing
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them lightly with a meat mallet to ensure even thickness.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the marinade.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
When ready to cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the chicken in the skillet. Discard the remaining marinade.
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken for garnish, if desired, and serve with your choice of sides such as rice, steamed vegetables, or a green salad.
