Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pkg. (3 tablespoons) Ranch dressing mix
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 to 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Ranch dressing mix, garlic salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon juice and water.
- Place chicken breasts in a large Ziploc bag and pour marinade over them. Seal bag and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade.

Notes
I know 1 tablespoon of garlic salt might seem like a lot and that it will make the chicken too salty. Don’t worry, it doesn’t. I wondered the same thing the first time I made this, but went ahead with the way original recipe was written and we loved it. If you think it might be too salty for you, cut back to 1/2 or 3/4 tablespoon the first time you make this and see how you like it. You can adjust accordingly the next time you make it.
