In our house, we eat Chicken recipes more nights than anything else. Seriously, we should have feathers. LOL! Although, I am a big casserole kind of person, I like to break out the Saucy Parmesan Chicken every so often to spice things up and I get praised MAJORLY! The Zesty Italian dressing gives the chicken such a moist consistency and the Parmesan gives the outer edge a nice crust and my guys just eat it up. I made ten pieces last night and we ran out within minutes! Thank goodness I also made a TON of potatoes to fill them up. 🙂
We like to serve this chicken dish with Onion Mashed Potato Casserole and green beans. The marinade and drippings go great over these potatoes! After eating, we scrape the remaining marinade into the left-over soup container to add some zesty to our next pot of soup!

I'll bet this is good. I never would have thought to use the Italian dressing as a marinade. Thanks for the idea. :)
