Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 2h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 2

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing

Steps:

  • To Marinate: Pour salad dressing into a large, resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts, seal bag and shake to coat. Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight (the longer you marinate, the more taste the chicken will absorb).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from bag, discarding remaining marinade. Place chicken in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Note: Turn chicken occasionally while baking.

EASY ITALIAN CHICKEN MARINADE



Easy Italian Chicken Marinade image

This recipe is great on grilled chicken! The vinegar helps create a tender meat, so the longer it marinates, the better. A favorite of mine is to grill chicken using this, slice it into strips, and serve with pasta (this goes great with my "Béchamel (White Sauce)" recipe!). This marinade tastes just as good without the Montreal Chicken Seasoning, so if you're out of it, don't stress!
