Italian Baked Chicken Recipes

ITALIAN CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425˚F.
• If the thickness of the chicken breasts is very uneven, pound them a bit to even things out (see this post for how to do that), keeping the chicken ¾- to 1-inch thick.
• In a small bowl combine the rosemary, oregano, thyme, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
• Rub half of the olive oil on the chicken breasts and season both sides with half of the spice mixture.
• Arrange chicken on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, remaining olive oil, and the remaining spice mix. Stir to combine.
• Arrange the tomatoes and garlic around the chicken breasts.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer registers 165˚F.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley and serve.

CRISPY ITALIAN OVEN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking tray or half sheet pan with foil and place all the chicken pieces on it, skin side down. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and spices and flip each piece skin side up. Drizzle a little oil over the skin on each piece of chicken and rub lightly to coat. Sprinkle again with salt, pepper, and spices.
• Bake for one hour, until most of the fat has rendered out of the chicken and the skin is golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let rest about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

• Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken juices run clear and coating is golden brown.

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.
