Ever have one of those chaotic weekdays where getting dinner on the table feels like solving a complex puzzle? Trust me, it happens to all of us! My 3-Ingredient Italian BBQ Chicken has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. With just chicken, Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, and your favorite Italian dressing, you can whip up a delicious meal that feels like a labor of love without all the effort. This dish brings together the sweet and tangy flavors of BBQ sauce with the savory zest of Italian dressing, making it a fantastic choice for busy professionals looking to balance work and their love for cooking.
This Italian BBQ Chicken pairs wonderfully with a light, refreshing side salad or some roasted veggies.

Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken, spreading it evenly with a spoon or basting brush.

Variations & Tips
If you're looking to switch things up, try using a smoky BBQ sauce for added depth of flavor. For a spicy kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the BBQ mixture before pouring it over the chicken. If you prefer dark meat, you can easily substitute chicken thighs, adjusting the cooking time as needed. And don't be afraid to experiment with different Italian dressings—creamy Italian can give the dish a rich, indulgent twist!
