Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 Chicken breast halves, bone-in
• 0.7 Ounces (oz) package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix, packaged
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) cold water
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the contents of the salad dressing mix with cold water. Stir well to dissolve the mix, then add olive oil and whisk until fully combined.
3. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the chicken breasts 'wrong side up' in the dish.
4. Spoon 0.5 teaspoons of the dressing mixture onto each chicken breast and spread evenly over the surface.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
6. Carefully turn the chicken breasts over and spoon the remaining dressing mixture onto the top side.
7. Continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, with juices running clear.
8. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
