Crispy Italian Baked Chicken – Only 3 Ingredients

INGREDIENTS: 

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
• Italian Dressing
• Instant Potato Flakes
• fresh parsley flakes, optional

DIRECTIONS: 

Optional: Marinate your chicken in the Italian dressing. I usually take the chicken out of the freezer in the morning and just place it in a casserole dish filled with dressing. This way it defrosts and marinates at the same time.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat the bottom of a casserole dish with some Italian Dressing.
2. Pound your chicken until it is about 1/4 thick.
3. Dip your chicken into a bowl of Italian dressing, then roll it in a bowl of instant potato flakes. (Don’t coat your chicken with too much potatoes or it will be all you taste!) Place chicken in the casserole dish.
4. Bake for 20 minutes or until heated through.
5. Remove from over and sprinkle with fresh parsley flakes, optional.

Serve with a side of mashed potatoes and a fresh garden salad and you’ve got yourself a hassle-free, delicious meal! Enjoy!!
