Granny’s Oven Fried Chicken

By srumbel

The chicken I am sharing with you today is the most flavorful oven fried chicken I have ever tasted. The recipe came from Granny Jordan’s file of handwritten recipe cards and as soon as I saw the ingredients I knew I’d love it. Dipping it in Italian dressing makes a key difference, and the jazzed up breading ingredients help seal in the moisture and add a delicious crust while it bakes.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs*
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup Italian dressing
• 3-4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a shallow bowl or pie plate, stir together bread crumbs, cheese, parsley flakes, garlic salt, and pepper. Pour Italian dressing into a separate shallow bowl.
Dip each chicken breast into the salad dressing to coat both sides, then dredge it in the bread crumb mixture and transfer it to a plate.
Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and bake until they are cooked through, 30-40 minutes.
