Italian Dressing Chicken
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Breasts
- 1 cup Italian Dressing
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese - grated (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Place chicken breasts in a casserole dish and pour the Italian Dressing overtop, covering the chicken completely.
- Cover the casserole dish with tinfoil and bake for 25 minutes, until an inserted meat thermometer reads 165F.
- Remove the casserole dish from the oven and dispose of the tinfoil.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and place back in the oven.
- Set the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes, until the tops of the chicken are lightly browned.
Notes
- Choose the right cut: Boneless skinless thighs stay juicier than breasts and absorb marinade beautifully.
- Marinate smart: 30 minutes is enough for flavor, but up to 24 hours deepens it. Avoid going longer, acid in the dressing can break down texture.
- Use a zip-top bag: It ensures even coating and easy cleanup. Lay flat in the fridge to maximize surface contact.
- Line your pan: Use foil or parchment for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Don’t overcrowd: Give each piece space in the pan so it roasts, not steams. Use two pans if needed.
