These tasty family friendly Garlic Knots are yeast rolls with garlic butter made easy with six ingredients in less than thirty minutes. This simple recipe calls for pre-made pizza dough which I pick up at one of my favorite local grocery stores however both canned and homemade work well. You can even use canned biscuits. I love to serve these tasty nuggets with Easy Baked Spaghetti and Three Cheese Stuffed Manicotti.

    Place the chicken on a cutting board and cover it with plastic wrap. Pound it to about 1/2 inch thick using a meat mallet.
  • 2
    Place the chicken in a bowl and pour the Italian dressing over it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for 30-60 minutes. If marinating longer place the bowl in the refrigerator.
