Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 3-4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs Choose lean breasts for a light option, or thighs for a richer, juicier flavor.
For the Glaze
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Provides a sweet base that caramelizes beautifully; swap with maple syrup for healthier choice.
  • 1 envelope dry Italian salad dressing mix Adds a punch of flavor; try a zesty version for an extra kick.

Equipment

  • 13 x 9-inch baking pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and baking equipment.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar with the Italian salad dressing mix. Stir until well blended.
  3. Dredge each piece of chicken in the sugar and dressing mixture until coated.
  4. Place the coated chicken pieces in the baking pan and sprinkle remaining glaze over the top.
  5. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, basting occasionally, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
