Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Italian dressing
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the Italian dressing over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the marinade.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for the best flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess dressing drip off, and place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
