Let's Make It

Mix all ingredients except chicken until blended; pour into large freezer-weight resealable plastic bag. Add chicken. Press bag to remove as much air as possible, then seal bag.

Freeze up to 3 months.

Heat greased grill to medium heat. Remove chicken from bag; discard bag and dressing mixture.

Grill chicken 10 to 12 min. on each side or until done (165ºF).

Kitchen Tips

Tip 1

Variation

These tasty marinated chicken breasts can instead be baked in the oven. Heat oven to 350ºF. Remove frozen chicken breasts from the bag; place on rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Discard bag and dressing mixture. Bake chicken 30 min. or until done (165°F).

Tip 2

Special Extra

Sprinkle evenly with 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Tip 3

Nutrition Bonus

This smart Southwest-style entrée features lean poultry in a tasty marinade. And since it goes straight from the freezer to the grill, it makes the perfect dish to serve as part of a quick weeknight meal.
