Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, white vinegar, dry ranch dressing mix, salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
- Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight for deeper flavor).
- Broil the Chicken:
- Preheat broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Remove chicken from marinade and place on the baking sheet.
- Broil for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the outside is golden.

- Serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Spicy Ranch: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the marinade.
