Texas Ranch Chicken

SUBMITTED BY: Jan Kinnard PHOTO BY: Lil Mermaid

"This is a baked chicken recipe I created as a single mother one night when the cupboard seemed bare. The kids love it, and have created their own variations. Variation: In place of dressing and mozzarella cheese, use sour cream and Cheddar cheese - slices or shredded."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken parts
  • 1 1/2 cups Ranch-style salad dressing
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the olive oil in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Arrange chicken in the dish, and cover with the dressing. It's best to place chicken pieces close together so that the cheese and the dressing do not burn on the bottom of the pan.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from heat, top with mozzarella cheese, and return to the oven. Continue cooking for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned and the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
