Baked Italian Parmesan Chicken

Teresa Ambra
Baked Italian Parmesan Chicken is a delightful 3-ingredient recipe. This one includes a delicious specialty salad dressing plus parmesan cheese to amp up the flavors. It's terrific for week night dinners since it's so easy to prepare. Every bite is moist and delectable. Baking chicken instead of frying is a wonderful way to enjoy this healthy, gluten free and satisfying dinner entree without the guilt of too many calories.

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. Use more, if desired.
 
NOTE: If you are unable to locate the salad dressing, a good, zesty Italian salad dressing will also work.
 
NOTE: Not all Italian dressings are gluten free. If you wish to keep the recipe gluten free, check the ingredient labels before using or purchasing.
