Grilled BBQ Ranch Chicken
Description
This recipe involves mixing equal parts BBQ sauce and ranch dressing to create a marinade that tenderizes and flavors the chicken breasts. The boneless, skinless chicken is coated thoroughly and allowed to marinate overnight or longer for deeper flavor absorption. Grilling the chicken allows the sauce mixture to caramelize slightly and creates a charred, smoky surface while keeping the meat moist inside.
The dish is straightforward and suited for informal dining occasions, with the marinade offering a balance of tang and spice from the BBQ sauce complemented by the creamy ranch. The grilled chicken can be served with sides like salad, vegetables, or bread.
As noted, allowing the chicken to marinate overnight enhances the flavor, but less time can also be used if needed. Grilling time is approximately 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
Ingredients
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup ranch salad dressing
- 2 lbs chicken breast boneless skinless
Instructions
- Combine BBQ and Ranch in mix together.
- Marinade in 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken overnight. You can do less, but we like overnight.

Notes
- Marinate the chicken overnight for best flavor, but shorter times are acceptable.
- Grill chicken thoroughly, about 20 minutes, until internal temperature is safe and juices run clear.
- Serve with side dishes like salad or grilled vegetables for a balanced meal.
