Ingredients for Awesome Chicken

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • ½ cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

How to Make Awesome Chicken

  1. Preheat your electric skillet (or oven to 375°F) to 350°F.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon onion powder.
  3. Sprinkle the garlic and onion powder mixture evenly on both sides of each chicken breast.
  4. Using a fork, poke several holes randomly across each chicken breast to help the dressing penetrate.
  5. Generously coat both sides of each chicken breast with ½ cup Thousand Island dressing.
  6. Cover the chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  7. Place chicken breasts in the preheated electric skillet (or on a baking sheet).
  8. Cook in the electric skillet for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, flipping halfway through. (If baking in the oven, bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
