Creating Italian Dressing Chicken is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the Italian dressing over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

2. Preheat the Oven or Grill: If baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

3. Prepare Cooking Surface: If baking, lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. If grilling, brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the marinated chicken out of the refrigerator. Discard the marinade and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.

5. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper over both sides of the chicken breasts for added flavor.

6. Cook the Chicken:
– For Baking: Place the chicken in the greased baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
– For Grilling: Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven or grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and juicy chicken.

8. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
