May 16th is National BBQ Day and making Italian BBQ Ranch Grilled Chicken is a great way to celebrate (to see more Food Holidays see the National Food Holidays category or look at the Food Holiday Calendar).

To start this recipe, make the marinade first. In a small bowl, add ¾ cup Italian dressing, ¾ cup Ranch dressing and ¾ cup BBQ sauce. (You can use your preferred brands for the salad dressing and barbecue sauce.)

Whisk well to fully combine. If you use a thicker barbecue sauce, you may need to add a little more salad dressing to thin out the marinade.

Place 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a resealable bag. Then pour the marinade over the chicken. (My pictures show doubled recipe amounts.)

Refrigerate the chicken a few hours or overnight. While the chicken is marinating, I make extra batch of marinade and leave it in a bowl. Then remove chicken from marinade and place on a heated grill. Following placing the chicken on the grill, throw out the marinade.

Grill for 15 to 18 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. At this time, I use the extra batch of marinade I made to baste the chicken while grilling.

Serve warm and enjoy! Because of ease the recipe doubles, it can be made for a larger crowd or for a second recipes.
