Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°.
- 2. Mix together the Catalina dressing, onion soup mix, and apricot jam. Stir to blend well; set aside.
- 3. Use a meat mallet to pound the thawed (if previously frozen) chicken breasts. This allows for uniformity in thickness for better cooking, and also makes the breasts very tender and delicious.
- 4. Arrange chicken breasts - touching - in an ungreased 13 x 9" baking pan. Pour dressing mixture over all chicken. Bake for approx. 30 minutes, until juices run clear, and the breasts have a nice 'glazed' appearance.
- 5. Serve with rice and a nice salad or pretty green vegetable!
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken in the flour mixture.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your taste.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
- For a healthier version, bake the chicken instead of frying it.
Conclusion:
Catalina chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
