Description
Cook up the juiciest grilled chicken breasts on your Ninja Grill with a simple salad dressing marinade and chicken rub.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing
- 2 tbsp chicken rub
Instructions
- Marinate: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag with the salad dressing. Seal. Massage the dressing into the meat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 4 hours.
- Heat Grill: Set the Ninja Grill to the grill function. Set the temperature to medium and the time to 30 minutes.
- Season: Remove the chicken from the bag. Pat it dry and season all sides with the chicken rub.
- Grill: Place the chicken on the grill, smooth side down. Grill for 7 minutes. Flip. Grill for 12-15 more minutes to an internal temperature of 165F degrees.
- Rest: Let rest for 5-10 minutes. Then, slice and serve.
Notes
You can substitute the balsamic vinaigrette with any vinegar-based salad dressing or marinade. The grill time is set to more time than is needed, so the grill doesn’t turn off, just in case the cook time takes a minute or so longer than expected. These chicken breasts are great on salads, sandwiches, in wraps or served with a side dish.
