Place chicken breasts in a medium bowl. Add 1/3 cup dressing, toss to coat.

Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken mixture to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side, or until desired degree of doneness. Let chicken stand 3 minutes before cutting crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Cover and keep warm.
