This is a nice method to use with any left-over dressings in your fridge; better to use it than to let it sit there and expire (which is what happens to me a lot with the dressings!). I had honey dijon and ranch dressing to use this weekend; this chicken came out tasting so extremely full-flavored... everyone loved it. I served it with sides of brown rice and steamed carrots, broccoli and califlour. Since the chicken has so much flavor, I didn't add seasonings to the rice or veggies.

How To Make garlic ranch honey dijon chicken

  • 1
    Wash chicken and pat dry. Put chicken in big mixing bowl with all the spices and seasonings. Mix together so all chicken is coated with the spices.
  • 2
    In separate bowl, mix together the dressings, 1/4 cup olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
  • 3
    Pour dressing mixture over chicken. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or plastic plate; let marinate in fridge for about 3-4 hours.
  • 4
    (You can also put chicken in big ziplock bag and let it marinate in fridge that way. I like doing this because I can take out the chicken every once in a while and squeeze the bag to "mix the marinade").
  • 5
    When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375*. Pour 1/4 cup olive oil into casserole dish, and put it in the oven to heat it up.
  • 6
    In the meantime, pour breadcrumbs onto plate.
  • 7
    After about 5-7 minutes, take out hot pan. Set aside.
  • 8
    Take chicken out one by one with tongs, roll in breadcrumbs to coat lightly, and set into casserole pan.
  • 9
    Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes (till juices run clear). Enjoy!
