EASY ITALIAN CHICKEN II

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 BAKED CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Pat chicken dry. Place a chicken breast in a large zip-top bag and zip the top (make sure to release any air in the bag first), then place it on your poultry cutting board. Using a meat mallet like this one, pound to flatten the chicken. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken breast pieces.
• Season the chicken with kosher salt and pepper on both sides and place in a large mixing bowl or dish. Add spices, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Combine to make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices and garlic.
• In a large lightly oiled baking dish or pan, spread the onion slices on the bottom. Arrange seasoned chicken on top, and add the tomatoes.
• Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 10 minutes covered, then uncover and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes or so. Watch carefully. This can take less or more time depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. To be sure the chicken is cooked through, use an instant digital cooking thermometer. It should register 165 degrees F.
• Remove from the heat. Let the chicken breasts rest (cover with foil or another pan) for 5 to 10 minutes or so before serving. Uncover and garnish with fresh parsley and basil. Enjoy!

CRISPY ITALIAN CHICKEN BREAST WITH TOMATO SAUCE AND MOZZARELLA RECIPE (SIP BITE GO)

Steps:

• Make the garlic tomato sauce. In a deep saucepan on medium heat, combine the crushed tomatoes, garlic, onion, oil, oregano, parsley and red pepper flakes. Stir together. Once the sauce begins to boil, turn down to medium-low. Occasionally stir every few minutes while the sauce simmers for 30 minutes. Once it's done, turn off the heat and cover with a lid until the chicken is done. Remove bay leaf. Add fresh basil if desired.
• Prepare the chicken. First, mix together oregano, parsley, flour, and corn starch, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or plate. Coat both sides of the chicken with the mixture.
• Heat a large pan on medium-high. Add oil and butter to the pan. Once butter melts, add chicken. Brown each side for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Note: do not flip the chicken until the side touching the pan is golden brown. Once each flat side is golden brown, use tongs to hold the chicken while searing the edges for a few seconds. Once the outside is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken is cooked (use a thermometer if you're not sure), turn off the heat. Set the oven broiler on high.
• Transfer chicken to a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add sauce and mozzarella. Broil on high for 2-5 minutes, checking regularly until cheese melts. Keep an eye on the chicken and parchment paper so it doesn't burn. Top with fresh basil leaves. Serve over pasta or with your favorite side.

• Remove the chicken from the fridge then preheat your oven to 420 degrees.
• Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken breasts then continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve with a few spoonfuls of the sauce in the baking dish over the top.
