The Miracle of Italian Dressing


Italian Dressing Chicken with Swiss and Guac

Growing up, my mother used to marinate chicken breasts in Ken's Steakhouse Italian dressing before putting them on the grill. It's really easy and makes a killer sandwich. Make sure you have an hour or so, because part of the charm here is the degree to which the chicken sorta "ceviche's" in the acidity of the dressing. Ken's doesn't seem to be available everywhere, but I find that most Italian vinaigrettes seem to work fine. Creamy Italian likely wouldn't, but I don't really think creamy Italian is good for much of anything.

Here I added some swiss cheese and homemade guacamole which adds a ton of flavor. Apres photo I added a little hot sauce too.
