What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • It’s so easy! Let the chicken marinate, then bake it in the oven – that’s it.
  • It’s the perfect dish to meal prep ahead of a busy week. Throw a piece of chicken over a salad for a quick lunch or pair it with roasted potatoes and veggies for a healthy dinner.
  • The chicken soaks up the Italian dressing while it marinates. The end result is juicy chicken breasts with delicious flavor all throughout.
  • It’s naturally keto! Serve it with veggies, sprinkle on some parmesan cheese, and you’ll have a tasty, easy, low-carb meal.

Key Ingredients

White Wine Vinegar – Less acidic than its counterparts, white wine vinegar offers a delicious tanginess to this dish.

Lemon Juice – Adds a bit of brightness, if you don’t have any lemon juice on-hand, you can go without it.

Italian Seasoning – It wouldn’t be Italian dressing chicken without Italian seasoning! Simply don’t forget it.

Chef’s Tips

  • The longer you leave your chicken to marinate, the more flavorful it will be! Keep that party going in the fridge for up to 8 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade before baking it. Don’t worry, it’ll still retain a ton of flavor as it cooks.
  • If you want to make this even easier, add all the Italian dressing ingredients straight into the resealable bag with the chicken. You can skip the mixing in a separate bowl step by shaking all ingredients in the bag together!
