Equipment

  • 1 jumbo zip lock bag WITHOUT the "stand and fill" bottom (a gallon size bag may also work)
  • 1 10x15" glass baking dish
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • measuring cups
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 6 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 16 oz. bottle Hendrickson's Sweet Vinegar and Olive Oil dressing (I used about 8 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese or more, if desired

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken breasts in a jumbo zip-lock bag.
  • Add salad dressing.
  • Close zipper and swish ingredients.
  • Place in bowl or dish in refrigerator and marinate at least one hour.
  • Remove from refrigerator.
  • Spray a 10x15” glass baking dish with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Shake off any marinade residue from the chicken and place chicken breasts into baking dish.
  • Pour remainder of marinade around the chicken in dish but not over top of it.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese generously over top of the chicken.
  • Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes.
  • Turn chicken pieces over and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
  • Continue baking an additional 30 minutes or until chicken tests done.

Notes

NOTE: You can sprinkle additional parmesan cheese over top of the chicken before serving.
 
NOTE: Hendrickson’s dressing is on the sweet side. You need the parmesan cheese to off-set some of the sweetness.
 
NOTE: If you are unable to locate the salad dressing, a good, zesty Italian salad dressing will also work.
