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.

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

Tips:

  • Preheat the oven: Always preheat the oven to the desired temperature before baking the chicken. This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and thoroughly.
  • Use a baking dish with sides: This will prevent the chicken and sauce from spilling over during baking.
  • Season the chicken generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to flavor the chicken. You can also add other herbs and spices to your liking.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes will help to enhance its flavor.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is an important part of this dish, so make sure to use a sauce that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own homemade sauce.
  • Bake the chicken until cooked through: The chicken should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
