My husband said that this deserves 5 stars. I was thinking more like 4.5. It was EASY to prepare. The taste was flavorful and good. I used chicken breasts and marinated them in a ziploc bag for about 5 hours before baking. I also doubled the marinade to make sure the chicken was completely covered and so that we would have plenty of sauce with the meal. I also added carrots and extra pieces of fresh garlic. I will make it again! THANKS Read More

Needed more zest - I would try using Italian dressing labeled "Zesty". I also doubled the garlic and the rosemary. I used a large baking dish. Cooking times and quaities were right on. If you like your potatoes a little crispy try removing the foil for the last 10 minutes. Read More

This is actually really good if you marinate the chicken in the italian dressing and add some of your own flavor to it. I added a bit of red white and black pepper to it and it was really good. Read More

I used chicken breasts and added more Italian dressing. Also I only left it in for 45 minutes otherwise it would have dried out. Excellent meal! Read More

I give this recipe 5 stars for the flavor return on your time investment. I was looking for a recipe like the "Chicken Italian" my mom used to make. I only made a few changes: Used chicken breasts b/c that's what I had; marinated the chicken for about 30 in. in Mojo Criollo b/c my husband really enjoys the kick; and used packaged pre-sliced potates. To save washing a bowl I also just sprinkled the lemon lime and dressing over everything before covering and baking. After 45 minutes I sprinkled shredded Italian cheese Italian seasoning and baked uncovered a few minutes more. Yum yum! Read More

I thought this was a great easy meal that tasted pretty good too! I left the skins on the potatoes added baby carrots and used chicken breast. Also used the salad dressing that has oil in (not fat free) as this gives a better coating and keeps moisture & flavour in. To give this a FAB presentation and just add a little something I served this over a bed of fresh baby spinach & rocket leaves with some halved cherry tomatoes alongside - it looked like something you order in a restaurant!! I will make this again - perhaps vary the dressing to change it a bit. Thanks! Read More

Used chicken breast tenders and roasted red pepper with parmesan Italian dressing. Let marinate in 1/2 sauce for 30 minutes then covered with remainder. Also skipped lime juice because I didn't have any. I loved it on the chicken but it may have been too much for the potatoes for me and my boyfriend. Read More

I thought this was pretty good add how easy it was to make and I'll be making it again. I used boneless skinless breasts and regular Itatian dressing. I marinated the chicken in the dressing for about 40 min first. Added carrots with the potatoes (I cut small bite sized) and course ground black pepper. Then with the chicken I sprinkled on some chicken seasoning and black pepper on top. I also lined the pan with foil underneath along with covering it. At the end I topped with shredded mozz cheese. I didn't have lime juice but it turned out fine. Read More

I'm so sorry...It smelled good while cooking but really did not taste good. Presentation was also not so great. Yes browning the meat may help the looks but can't possibly help the taste that much. Chicken was bland and potatoes were just...yuck. Thanks anyway. Read More
