Garlic Herb Marinated Chicken Breast

Ingredients

• 8 oz chicken breast

• Italian dressing, for marinating

• Garlic butter (Ultima)

• Demos' Seasoning Salt

• Oregano

• Greek marinade

Instructions

Prepare and Marinate the Chicken

1. Cut the 8 oz chicken breast in half to create two evenly sized pieces.

2. Tenderize each piece by lightly piercing one side with a meat tenderizer approximately 5 times.

3. Place the chicken in a bowl or resealable bag with enough Italian dressing to coat completely.

4. Refrigerate and allow the chicken to marinate for 1 hour.

5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, scraping off any excess dressing. Discard the used marinade.

Season the Chicken

1. Place the marinated chicken pieces on a lined baking sheet.

2. Spread garlic butter (Ultima) evenly over each piece of chicken.

3. Season both pieces with a medium, even coating of Demos' Seasoning Salt.

4. Lightly sprinkle oregano over the chicken.

5. Drizzle Greek marinade evenly over each piece to add extra flavor.

Bake the Chicken

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the preheated oven.

3. Bake for approximately 10 minutes.

4. Check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer. The thickest part should reach 165°F.

5. If the chicken has not reached 165°F, return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until fully cooked.

Serve and Enjoy

1. Remove the chicken from the oven once it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

2. Allow the chicken to rest for 3–5 minutes before serving to help retain its juices.

3. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
