If you are looking for something a little different that is so easy to make then this Creamy Italian Chicken is just perfect for you. I used chicken thighs in this recipe but you can always use chicken breast. One of the things that I love about this recipe is that it comes together so fast. I grab a bottle of Newman’s Own Italian Dressing a few other ingrediants and it all comes to gether to make this amazing Creamy Italian Chicken. You can serve this over cooked rice or even pasta. I promise it is something you will be adding to your weeknight menu often.
Ya know, I am a very busy person just as I know many of you are. It is always nice to have something so easy to make on a weeknight when you just want the oven to do most of the work.
