When I was growing up I had this thing where I would call certain meals by name depending on what day of the week it was. For example, pizza was for sure a friday night or saturday night dinner. A big pasta dinner was a sunday night dinner. Meatloaf was a weekday dinner for sure. Friday, Saturday and Sunday dinners always had to be fun in my mind because it was the week-end. So, if I happened to come home on a friday or saturday night and my mom was making a piece of grilled chicken with a baked potato for dinner...I would say "What...boring grilled chicken and boring baked potato...ugh...that is a Monday night dinner...not a saturday night dinner!" Well, I am now a wife and mother and I don't have the time or energy to cook week-end dinners during the week...so I too now make "Monday Night Chicken"!
Last night I made the best " Monday Night Chicken". My husband loved it! Here is the simple recipe.
MONDAY NIGHT CHICKEN
- 4 Chicken breasts
- 1 cup milk
- 1 packet dry italian dressing
- 2 cups italian bread crumbs
- 1 TB. olilve oil
- Dip chicken breasts one at a time in milk.
- Sprinkle chicken with dry italian dressing on each side.
- Immediately dredge the chicken breasts in the italian bread crumbs making sure entire chicken breasts is coated.
- Place chicken breasts in baking dish.
- Place chicken in a 400 degree pre-heated oven for 20 minutes
- Take out chicken and drizzle olive oil over the top of the chicken
- Place back in oven for about 5 minutes or until chicken is crispy on top
I served this chicken with scalloped potatoes, corn and a side salad. The chicken is really juicy! Who knew such a simple menu would be such a hit!
