Baked Catalina Chicken
Description
Baked Catalina Chicken combines boneless, skinless chicken breasts with a marinade consisting of Catalina dressing, onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce. The chicken is trimmed of excess fat, coated evenly with the dressing mixture, then baked at 375°F until fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Baking develops a glossy glaze and tender texture while the seasonings impart a savory and slightly tangy flavor.
This dish can be served warm, and garnishing with chopped green onions adds a mild onion note and color contrast. Variations include slow cooker preparation by combining ingredients and cooking on high or low for several hours. For pressure cooker adaptations, simmering the sauce separately after cooking the chicken is recommended to thicken the glaze before serving.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast 3-4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 1 cup Catalina dressing (about 8 oz)
- 1 envelope onion soup mix Lipton brand
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Garnish (optional)
- 2 tbsp green onion chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
- Combine the catalina dressing, onion soup mix and Worcestershire sauce together and mix.
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken and lay flat in a 2 qt baking dish. Pour the dressing mixture over the chicken and then turn the chicken to evenly coat.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165˚F internal temperature)
- Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm.
Notes
- This recipe can be adapted for slow cooker: combine ingredients (except green onions) and cook on high for 2.5-3 hours or low for 3.5-4 hours; chicken thighs are better for longer slow cooking.
- Instant Pot version: cook chicken breasts with marinade and ½ cup water on high pressure for 6-8 minutes, release pressure, then simmer sauce to thicken before coating chicken again.
