Marinate Chicken In Italian Dressing

Marinating chicken takes as little as 30 minutes.


When it comes to cooking, chicken is often the star of the show. Chicken contains little fat and lots of protein, can be cooked in a short amount of time and can be mixed with lots of other foods, from vegetables to peanut butter, to create a meal. There are hundreds of chicken recipes to experiment with, but sometimes you just need a simple dinner solution with a few ingredients and little preparation. Combining chicken with Italian dressing makes for a quick meal that is also full of flavor.


Instructions


1. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow, non-aluminum baking dish.


2. Pour Italian dressing over the chicken to coat.


3. Seal the plastic bag or cover the dish. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to two hours. Use tongs to turn the chicken at least once while marinating.


4. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Discard any Italian dressing that remains in the bag or dish.








5. Grill the marinated chicken or bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
