This marinade is super random, but it is full of flavor, and the best part is: you only need to marinate for 30 minutes. There are so many amazing marinades, but so many of them require you to marinate for like 4 hours or something ridiculous. I'm not that organized most of the time, so I like ones that are quick and painless. This is also a great marinade in that most of the ingredients, aside from a fresh herb, you probably already have in your fridge and pantry!

30 Minute Ranch Chicken Marinade
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 ranch dressing
2 Tbl Worcestershire Sauce
2 and 1/2 tsp minced fresh rosemary
1 and 1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp lemon juice
3/4 tsp white (distilled) vinegar
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tsp white sugar
2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 in pieces (1 breast per person)
Put all ingredients (except chicken) into bowl and whisk together. Let stand 5 minutes. In plastic bag, combine chicken and marinade. Seal bag and put in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Put chicken onto skewers and discard marinade. Lightly oil grill grate, and then grill chicken skewers for 8-12 minutes or until cooked through center and juices run clear.
That's it! So simple! So yummy. And I don't even like ranch dressing, but it doesn't really taste like ranch at all. This marinade makes enough for 4 chicken breasts, but I make the full amount even if only make 2 breasts. And this is the one time I will say don't try and substitute dried herb for fresh herb. It really makes a difference.
