The secret ingredient is a powerhouse.

Fettuccine alfredo was my go-to order, but the salad was always the star of the show.

That beautifully balanced, tangy, salty Italian dressing will always have a place in my heart.

Chicken breasts and a bottle of dressing are all you need.

If you opt for a longer marinating time, youll have even more flavorful, extra-juicy chicken.

I dont recommend marinating longer than 3 hours, though, or the chicken can wind up mushy.

Give your favorite Italian dressing a try.

Pour the Italian dressing over the chicken and use tongs to toss until all the pieces are fully coated.

Remove the baking dish from the fridge and preheat the oven to 425F.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
