Low Fat Italian Dressing Chicken Recipes

ITALIAN DRESSING CHICKEN

Steps:

• Lay the chicken in a baking dish just big enough to hold the chicken. (See notes.) Pour the Italian dressing over the top. Cover the chicken then place it into your fridge for up to 24 hours, turning the chicken over once halfway through marinating. (See notes.)
• Remove the chicken from the fridge then preheat your oven to 420 degrees.
• Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken breasts then continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve with a few spoonfuls of the sauce in the baking dish over the top.

• Remove chicken from bag, discarding remaining marinade. Place chicken in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Note: Turn chicken occasionally while baking.

CHICKEN PARMESAN - LOW FAT

Steps:

• Remove any clinging fat from the chicken and discard; wash and pat dry.
• Lay chicken between sheets of waxed paper- I save cereal box liners for this purpose; gently pound with the fleshy part of your fist (or a meat mallet) to flatten slightly.
• Rub all over with Italian dressing& let it sit while measuring out the remaining ingredients.
• Combine bread crumbs and seasonings on a piece of wax paper.
• Spray a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
• When hot, dredge dressing coated breasts through the bread crumb mixture and sauté until golden, about 5- 8 minutes per side.
• Spoon some spaghetti sauce on top of each breast, sprinkle with Parmesan& top with mozzarella; cover pan and continue to cook over medium heat until sauce is hot and cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.

ITALIAN DRESSING CHICKEN

Steps:

• If you are purchasing the chicken breasts halves, make sure they are partially frozen before slicing them. Place your hand on top of the chicken and carefully draw your knife lengthwise throughout the piece to form two 1/4 lb cutlets. Place the chicken cutlets into a large plastic, sealable bag.
• To make the dressing, simply pour the vinegar, oil, herbs, garlic and red pepper flakes into your shaker bottle, or a small bowl; shake the bottle to mix or whisk in the bowl. Set 1/4 cup of the mixture aside and pour the remainder into the plastic bag. Work the dressing throughout the chicken, seal the bag and refrigerate for a minimum of two hours, but no more than four hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350F; have a nonstick jellyroll pan ready (baking sheet with a 1/4 inch lip on all sides). Heat a nonstick large skillet on medium-high heat; place 4 pieces of chicken into the skillet and sear for two minutes on each side; transfer the chicken to the pan. Repeat with the next 4 pieces; wipe any residue out of the skillet. Place the pan into the oven and finish cooking the chicken off for seven minutes.
• Take the reserved 1/4 cup of marinade, place it in the skillet, medium-high heat again; and toss to coat the julienned bell peppers and onions. This will continue to cook in the skillet during the seven minutes the chicken is finishing up in the oven. Occasionally move the vegetables around as you're using minced garlic and you do not want to allow it to brown or burn.
• Serve a piece of chicken with a side portion of the peppers and onions, or slice the chicken, place inside a sub roll with the peppers and onions to make a sandwich serving.
