Easy Meal: Marinated Grilled Chicken Breasts

On New Year's Eve, 2012....I wanted to make a special dinner for my love and myself.  Something that would be easy and great tasting.

The following items are needed:

• Package of Chicken Breasts (skinless)
• 1 bottle of Italian Dressing
• Onion
• Bell Peppers (of your choosing)
• Garlic
• Kosher Salt
• Ground Pepper
• Butter

Follow these preparation steps:

• Rinse each chicken breast with water.
• Place ckicken breasts in a large bowl.
• Shake the Italian Dressing and pour into large bowl (enough to coat each chicken breast).
• Cover with foil.
• Place large bowl in the refrigerator (allow to marinate for at least 2 hours).
• Slice onion, bell peppers (to your liking as to how much you would like)
• I used half of a green and red bell peppers
• Chopped a few cloves of garlic (to your liking)

Grilling time:

• In a skillet add butter over a medium heat.
• Add marinated chicken breast to the skillet (usually 2 pieces will fit).
• I cut the chicken breast in the center to ensure that it cooks through.
• Add your Kosher Salt and Ground Pepper (to your liking).
• Grill one side at a time (personally, I like mine to be a nice golden color). Cover with lid.
• Turn the chicken breast over and grill the other side.
• Gradually add your onion, garlic, and bell peppers to add flavor. Cover with lid.

Once your marinated grilled chicken is done...serve with your favorite side dishes and a healthy salad (with sliced almonds and dried cranberries, onions, tomatoes) and a lite dressing.

Enjoy your meal.
