How to Make Italian Marinated Chicken Breasts
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place 4 (6-ounce) cleaned and trimmed chicken breasts in a 9x11 inch glass baking dish.
- Season chicken breasts generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Pour 1 cup of your favorite Italian salad dressing over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
- After marinating, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and flip the chicken breasts.
- Evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
- Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Check for doneness after 45 minutes to prevent overcooking.
- Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
