Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
- 0.5 cup ranch dressing
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them lightly with a meat mallet to ensure even thickness.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the marinade.
Step 3
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 4
Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 5
When ready to cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the chicken in the skillet. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 7
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Step 9
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken for garnish, if desired, and serve with your choice of sides such as rice, steamed vegetables, or a green salad.
