🍗 Chicken with Italian Dressing
This is a simple, flavorful chicken recipe where Italian dressing acts as both a marinade and sauce, giving the chicken a tangy, herby taste. It’s quick and perfect for weeknight meals.

- 1 cup Italian Dressing

- Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
2. Cook the chicken
