Ingredients

1 package of fresh chicken~breasts, thighs or a combination, whatever you like best

2 tsp Italian seasoning

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

A bottle of Italian dressing~I use Wishbone's Fat Free

Fresh,chopped Italian parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish (in place of parsley you can use fresh basil for garnish, if you have it)

Optional:

You can add anything else you like about mid-way through roasting the chicken. I always have cherry or grape tomatoes so I toss those in for the last 15-20 minutes or so

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish or any other kind of ovenproof dish with non-stick spray

Pour some of the Italian dressing in the bottom of the pan to coat lightly

Season both sides of the chicken pieces with the Italian seasoning and some fresh black pepper

Lay the chicken pieces in the pan and pour more dressing on top

Roast in oven for 60 minutes or so (depending on how large the pieces are that you are using)

Occasionally during cooking, spoon some of the sauce over the top of the meat and add some more dressing when needed

Here's when you can add some tomatoes or other cooked vegetables, if desired

When chicken is done it should be golden brown; remove from oven

Place on serving plates and sprinkle with the fresh parsley or basil and some grated Parmesan cheese

Serve with some crusty bread or a green salad. Easy!!

I sure know about those nights when cooking just isn't part of the program! Thanks for this recipe. I'll have to try it!

Always good to have a fast on hand ingredients recipe for when it's really late and you just got back from driving four hours from somewhere and you need to feed the folks some grub in a hurry!

Hi everyone! I think I should have increased the cooking time in this because I made it last night with some large, meaty thighs and it took a little over an hour to finish. Sorry about that! Kathye

you can throw potatoes and carrots in... and try dry italian seasoning over top and parmesan cheese (along with the bottled italian salad dressing)! mmmmm good! it works better with chicken with a bone in cause it doesn't dry out as much!
