- 5. Serve with rice and a nice salad or pretty green vegetable!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Lightly grease/spray a 13" x 9" baking dish.
- Place chicken in prepared baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine Catalina dressing, onions, worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar; mix very well.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 45-55 minutes or until juices run clear.
Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a leaner dish. You can also use bone-in, skin-on chicken, but you'll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Tenderize the chicken before cooking to help it stay juicy. You can do this by pounding it with a meat mallet, marinating it in a flavorful liquid, or using a commercial tenderizer.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your dish to add flavor and color. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, celery, onions, peppers, and mushrooms.
- Use a flavorful sauce to coat the chicken and vegetables. You can use a bottled sauce, or you can make your own. Some good options include a teriyaki sauce, a honey garlic sauce, or a sweet and sour sauce.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
- Serve the chicken and vegetables over rice or noodles. You can also serve them with a side salad.
Conclusion:
Kraft Catalina Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and tender, the vegetables are flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and sweet. This dish is sure to please the whole family.
