My Hubbys Fav is my italian chicken. take some chicken breasts boneless n skinless, let them soak in italian salad dressing for 30 min, then bake for 60 min or until done with the oven at 350. turn them once during that hour and add more dressing to the pan pouring it over the chicken. You know its done when all the pink is gone from the middle, Serve with your fav side like a salad n fresh rolls from the bakery.
