Instructions

1-Gather all ingredients and measure them precisely for even flavor distribution.

2-In a medium bowl, combine the dressing, garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper; whisk until blended.

3-Place the chicken in a shallow dish or bag, pour the marinade over it, and ensure full coverage.

4-Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors infuse, but don’t exceed 4 hours to avoid over-tenderizing.

5-Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F and remove the chicken, letting excess marinade drip off.

6-Cook until the internal temperature hits 165°F, about 6-8 minutes per side on the grill or in the oven.

7-Before serving, drizzle a bit of unused Caesar dressing over the chicken for an extra flavor boost.

Notes

🔥 Use vinegar-based Caesar dressing rather than creamy for best marinade results.
🍖 Bone-in chicken thighs or turkey steaks can be used for different textures and flavor.
❌ Do not reuse the marinade once the chicken has been added to prevent contamination.
