Last night Dad said I could create the marinade for our grilled chicken. I was in the mood for Italian, so I made a marinade recipe based off of Mom’s Italian Dressing recipe. The chicken breasts marinaded for a couple hours and Dad grilled them up on the gas grill. The resulting chicken breasts were so tender and juicy that I cut mine with the side of my fork! The flavor was completely delicious and even Julia gave it two thumbs up! We served the chicken with watermelon and a big green salad for an easy and delicious summer meal!
