- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt

Main Ingredient

Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine ranch dressing, olive oil, dried rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Marinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade into a large ziplock bag. Place the chicken breasts inside the bag, ensuring each piece is completely coated with the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to allow the flavors to infuse the chicken.
- Preheat the Grill: When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure a good sear and even cooking.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for an additional 6 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful rosemary ranch grilled chicken!

- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the chicken on a grill pan or in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through but not overdone.
- Adjust salt according to your taste preferences or dietary restrictions.
- This recipe pairs well with fresh salads, grilled vegetables, or rice.
