Anniversary Chicken

This recipe is from allrecipes.com. It’s called anniversary chicken because it was made for a big anniversary party.  Anyways, it looks easy enough- so here it goes.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1/2 cup teriyaki basting sauce
• 1/2 cup Ranch-style salad dressing
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1/2 (3 ounce) can bacon bits
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, and saute 4 to 5 minutes each side, until lightly browned.
3. Place browned chicken breasts in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Brush with teriyaki sauce, then spoon on salad dressing. Sprinkle with cheese, green onions and bacon bits.
4. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Garnish with parsley and serve.

 

This turned out really good. I usually make a dish like this with bbq sauce instead of teriyaki, but this is a nice mix up. I would also recommend marinating the chicken in the teriyaki sauce before cooking. This would make that flavor a little more intense.
