ITALIAN BAKED CHICKEN AND PASTINA



Italian Baked Chicken and Pastina image

This is one of Giada's recipes. It's a recipe meant to be kid pleasing so it's mild in flavor. My little ones love this, and so do I! You can spice this up any way you want to suit your family if they don't like things mild, as the recipe intended. I sometimes add hot chicken italian sausage. I also use 1/2 pound of pasta rather than the 1 cup stated.

ITALIAN BAKED CHICKEN



Italian Baked Chicken image

Love this chicken dish. Its tender and delicious.

Provided by Nancy Allen

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 c butter
1/2 c commercial italian salad dressing
1/4 c lemon juice, fresh
1/4 c worcestershire sauce
2 clove garlic,crushed
4 bone in chicken breasts
salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Combine butter, dressing, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until butter melts.
  • 2. Place chicken is a 13x9 baking dish. Sprinkle with salt & pepper. Pour sauce over chicken and bake uncovered at 325 for 1 hour or until tender. 4 servings

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breast remains tender and juicy, make sure it is no more than 1 inch thick. If your chicken breast is thicker, you can pound it out with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is the desired thickness.
  • For a crispier chicken crust, dredge the chicken breasts in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper before browning them in the pan.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken breasts. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Bake the chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.

Conclusion:

Baked Italian chicken is a simple yet satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
