In a casserole dish, combine 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup ranch and press in 6-8 garlic cloves.

Step 4
Season each side of the marinated chicken breasts with Johnny’s seasoning to taste. Cover and refrigerate overnight to marinate for 10 to 24 hours.

Step 6
When turning chicken, brush the grilled side with BBQ sauce. Repeat for the second side.

Chef's notes
When done, chicken breast should have an internal temp of 165˚ and should be firm but still soft. Juices will run clear when you cut into it.
Our chicken breasts were pretty large and took about 25 minutes total on the grill. Don’t overcook them or they will turn rubbery and keep in mind they will continue cooking even off the grill.
