- 1/2 cup of zesty Italian dressing infusing the chicken with a tangy and herbaceous marinade that enhances its natural flavors, creating a tantalizing taste sensation.
- 2.5 ounces of vibrant bell peppers sliced, bringing a burst of color and a refreshing crunch to the dish, adding both flavor and visual appeal.
- 1/4 onion sliced, adding a mild and savory bite to the dish, complementing the flavors of the other ingredients and providing a hint of sweetness.
- 1 pound of tender and juicy chicken breasts carefully selected and ready to be transformed into a delectable and protein-packed main course.
- 1 tablespoon of Italian dressing for peppers and onions providing a zesty and flavorful coating that elevates the sweetness and adds a delightful tang to the vegetables.
- 2 cups of creamy mashed potatoes velvety smooth and comforting, serving as the perfect accompaniment to the chicken, adding a luscious and satisfying element to the plate.
- 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese grated, adding a creamy and melty element that blankets the chicken with its rich and cheesy goodness.
- 1.5 tablespoons of canola oil serving as the cooking medium, ensuring a crisp and golden exterior for the chicken, while also imparting a subtle richness to the overall dish.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the bell peppers and onions into thin slices, then place them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of Italian dressing, stirring until everything is evenly coated. Set aside for later use.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add canola oil and let it heat up. Once the oil is hot, add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it into an oven-safe dish. Top each piece of chicken with bell peppers and onions, then sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted and chicken is cooked through. Serve over a bed of mashed potatoes for an easy weeknight dinner.
Notes
- If you don’t have Italian dressing, you can substitute it with oil and vinegar or balsamic vinaigrette.
- To make the sizzling effect when served, place the cooked chicken on a preheated plate before serving.
- You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms and zucchini to increase the nutrition of the dish.
