TOO TIRED TO FUSS CHICKEN | |
This is a convenience recipe that can be put together with a minimum of ingredients and steps, and can be modified pretty easily. You do need that hour to spare, though. frozen chicken breasts (*) seasoning salt (**) creamy dressing (***) shredded cheese to taste (optional) * The type that are broth infused and frozen in ice crystals, do not thaw. Use as many frozen breasts as you need. ** Use whichever variety from your spice rack that you're feeling that night, and use as much or little as you want. *** Dealer's choice again, any buttermilk or sour cream based dressing on your condiment shelf will do nicely. Yes, even green goddess, though the kind with green food coloring will look kind of weird, it'll still taste fine. Use a generous squirt per chicken breast. This is the sort of recipe where you have an hour or so to prepare dinner, but you're too tired to want to stand over the stove for that length of time. This recipe, you can just quickly prepare and walk away from it for an hour. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Grab a sheet pan or a shallow baking pan. Layer in a sheet of tin foil if you want a no mess option. This doesn't need to be on a greased surface, nor does it need to be on a rack. Lay down your chicken breasts. For this recipe it really needs to be the broth infused frozen type, and it absolutely does not need to be thawed. It's fine if you want to use the loin-on type. Go ahead and lay out as many as you need. A little bit of space in between breasts is preferable but you don't need to fuss about it too much. Now sprinkle over each breast some seasoning salt. Any flavor of seasoning salt is fine, and however much you have a personal preference for. After the seasoning salt, squirt on some creamy dressing. Just about any flavor of creamy dressing will work for this. You want to give it enough of a squirtle that it can melt completely over the breast during cooking. Now bake uncovered at 375°F for an hour. During baking time, the chicken will thaw and absorb both the seasoning salt and a goodly portion of the creamy dressing. Usually a little bit of dressing browns on the top, and this tastes perfectly fine, but if the sight of it really bugs you, add a little mound of shredded cheese during the last fifteen to twenty minutes of baking to give it a spiffier look. If you do choose to bake the chicken breasts with a cover on, you're going to wind up with a cream gravy instead of absorption, and the chicken breast can turn out a little dry, so I don't really recommend doing that, unless you like a dryer breast with gravy in which case, do what you feel. In keeping with the too tired to fuss theme, serve it with leftover sides, microwaved sides, or with canned vegetables and toast. Submitted by: Elph |
