Instructions
Creating Italian Dressing Chicken is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the Italian dressing, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
3. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
5. Cooking the Chicken:
– For Grilling: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
– For Baking: Place the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 20-30 minutes or until fully cooked.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain moisture.
7. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken if desired, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with your choice of sides.
