I find that this marinade comes together really nicely in a gallon-sized zipper bag. All the flavors can party and hang out together throughout the day until they are ready for the grill. A nice-sized bowl or baking dish can work as well. I would mix the marinade well in a separate bowl first and pour over the chicken in the bowl or dish if I went that route.
I start by placing the chicken breasts into the gallon-sized zipper bag. I pour the ranch salad dressing over the chicken. Adding a can of Sprite or a similar lemon lime soda makes the chicken nice and juicy while adding a pop of flavor. I scoop some minced garlic on top. Lastly, I add the brown sugar. I zip up the bag and squish the bag until the marinade combines nicely.
I let the breasts hang out and soak up all the marinade goodness most of the day in the refrigerator. After marinating, I could see the lovely herbs from the ranch dressing covering each breast.
After they marinate most of the day, I just toss them onto the grill and cook them to 165°F (internal temperature). I pull them off of the grill and serve. That’s it! Pretty simple, right?
