Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 5 tablespoons Italian salad dressing (enough to generously coat the chicken)
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (adjust according to your taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will give it time to reach the perfect temperature while you prepare your chicken.

2. Prepare the Chicken: While the oven is heating up, place your defrosted chicken breasts in a baking dish or casserole dish. Make sure the dish is large enough to hold the chicken without crowding.

3. Season the Chicken: Pour the Italian salad dressing evenly over the chicken breasts. Use a fork to stab the chicken lightly. This helps the dressing penetrate the meat, ensuring every bite is flavorful. Don’t worry, this step is just to ensure the chicken is well-seasoned.

4. Add Seasoning: Coat both sides of the chicken breasts thoroughly with the Italian salad dressing. Sprinkle the poultry seasoning generously over the chicken. Feel free to adjust the amount of seasoning based on your preference. For an extra kick, you can add more seasoning.

5. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 30 to 45 minutes. The exact cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink in the center.

6. Optional Final Touch: For an extra touch of flavor and texture, you can sprinkle breadcrumbs over the chicken during the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking. This will give the chicken a delightful golden brown crust. If you choose to add breadcrumbs, switch the oven to broil and watch carefully to avoid burning.

Serving Suggestions

Chicken Danny Style is incredibly versatile. It pairs well with a variety of side dishes such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh garden salad. Serve it with your favorite sides to complete the meal.
