The best part about this recipe is that it only requires 3 ingredients and it is absolutely delicious.
The ingredients you’ll need:
- 2.5 lbs-3 lbs Chicken Breast
- 1 packet (.7 ounce) of dried italian dressing mix
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a 9×13 pan with a large piece of aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
3. Combine the packet of dried Italian dressing mix and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
4. After cutting excess fat off chicken breasts, dip each piece and coat with the mix on each side. Any extra coating that remains can be sprinkled over.
;
5. Place chicken in oven for 15-20 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken breasts) and flip each piece over. Bake for an additional 15 minutes. Turn oven on broil for 2 minutes, flip chicken and broil for another 2 minutes.
Serve with rice, couscous, and quinoa. Enjoy!
yummy

I made this tonight and have to say: FINALLY! I found a chicken dish that my (extremely picky) 6yo will eat! He cleaned his plate w/o ANY prompting! I am completely stunned. Thank you for this easy, delicious recipe. (My change ups: I used skinless, boneless thighs and substituted Sucanat for the brown sugar.)

The flavor was good but cooking it the time suggested, too much! Our’s came out dry & chewy after about 22 minutes on the first side and 20 on the second. We usually bake chicken for about 35 and I would say test the chicken in this recipe after about that long.

I made this with boneless skinless chicken thighs and cooked on the stove for a quick dinner. I just put a little olive oil in the pan and it turned out very tender and moist. It was delicious! My 8 year old daughter, who’s not a fan of chicken, even liked this dish. I will definitely make this again!

I fixed this tonight and all I can say is, fantastic!!! This is my kind of recipe. It is so easy and so delicious. The only small difference I made was dipping my chicken in egg before dipping in the dressing/brown sugar mixture. The only reason I did that is because I’m from the south and we always dipped our chicken in egg before any coating. I would love to have more recipes like this one, short and simple but makes a tasty difference. Thank you!!!

If extra sauce for your rice is your goal, I’d suggest simply doubling your brown sugar and dried Italian seasoning mix. While I haven’t tried it with this recipe specifically, it has always worked out for me with other recipes.

I’ve made this several times- so good and easy. I do pound the chicken breasts to make them cook evenly and faster, plus there is more “sauce” left in the pan for “dipping”

Wow! I followed the recipe to the letter and it turned out amazing! Paired it with rice (the leftover sauce was perfect to pour over the top) and sauteed green beans with garlic. There are no leftovers! Thanks so much for sharing!!

Sue, most grocery stores stock dry salad dressing mixes in the salad dressing aisle. Usually where the vinegar and oil are, as well.

I made this last night for dinner and it was a winner. Unfortunately mine did not caramelize like yours; not sure why, but the flavor was still great. I think I’m going to try making this in the slow cooker one of these days for shredded chicken to put over rice.
