The chicken pieces are tossed in a mixture of Italian salad dressing and cream of tomato soup, creating a savory, slightly tangy coating that crisps up beautifully in the oven. It&# 226;€™s the perfect weeknight dinner for families who want a meal that tastes like it took all day but comes together in under an hour. The herbs in the dressing infuse the chicken with aromatic notes, while the soup adds a rich, velvety texture that keeps the meat moist.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish.
  2. Place the chicken pieces in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the cream of tomato soup and the Italian salad dressing until smooth.
  4. Pour the soup and dressing mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  5. Sprinkle paprika and salt over the top of the chicken for color and extra flavor.
  6. Add a few pats of butter or margarine on top of the chicken to help it brown nicely.
  7. Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to settle.
