Italian Baked Chicken
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 package Italian dressing mix (dry)
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
chicken breasts
Combine bread crumbs with dressing mix. Dip chicken breasts in butter, then in bread crumb mixture. Place in greased baking dish. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes.
(Note: I use skinless boneless chicken breasts, so if using boned breasts, time will need to increase.
