Baked Catalina Chicken
Baked Catalina Chicken features tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts coated in a mixture of Catalina dressing, onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce. The dressing creates a flavorful glaze that keeps the chicken moist during baking. The dish is finished with chopped green onions for a fresh garnish. The simplicity of preparation makes it manageable while providing a tasty, savory entrée.
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.
