I have to admit, this was one of those meals where I threw together what I had in the fridge and pantry just so we could eat something. I really didn't plan ahead. Actually, we were lucky to have something to eat! But it turned out well. I served this chicken with a green salad, baked spaghetti squash and pumpkin scones (which I'll post later this afternoon) and it made a tasty meal. I didn't marinate my chicken because I was Marinated Baked Chicken
12" dutch oven
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
1/2 cup soy sauce
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. onion powder
Combine all the ingredients except the chicken and set aside 1/4 cup. Place the remaining 3/4 cup into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours. Drain the chicken, discarding the marinade. Place the chicken in a greased dutch oven and bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until juices run clear. Use 1 1/2 rings on top and 1 ring on the bottom. Brush the chicken with the reserved marinade several times during baking. Serves 6.
The Finished Product
The Review
I really wish I'd marinated the chicken. It had such good flavor, I can only imagine how much better it would have tasted if I'd made it properly. Funny how that works! :) The meat was so tender that we could cut it with a fork. This is very simple and easy and yummy. Even my little kids liked it. We gave this a B+.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us for the past year. I have learned several things and also enjoyed many of the recipes posted. Plus you have inspired me. While not guaranteeing that I will be able to match 365, I am going to attempt a minimum of 5 days per week for 2011. As you have I will be blogging my results-the good the bad and the burnt!

If you're dutch oven cooking there won't be much of the burnt! I've never used such a forgiving cooking method. Email me your blog address and I'll add a link on mine. I'm all for promoting both the psychological and health benefits of big black pots!

That was a LINK not like. I must have fat fingers or some thing. I don"t do much better on my blog. Ha.Ha. (or lol)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement everyone! I have received several comments and emails offering encouragement. I look forward to the journey. Talked with my wife last night and her first thoughts were "outside? You hate winter!" then I explained myself and she is all for it.
