The Best Stinking Chicken You'll Ever Eat

This recipe came from sheer laziness, I'm going admit that from the beginning. It's going to take a lot for me to not be lazy in the future, because this chicken is seriously the best chicken I've ever made. Three words can describe it--- easy, juicy, and easy. (Sorry for no pictures! I'll do better next time!) 

Ingredients: 
-Chicken
-Salad Dressing ( I used this super yummy Bruschetta Italian dressing, but any Italian type dressing will work)
-Breadcrumbs

How to:
1) Preheat oven to 425.

2)First, I cut the butterflied the chicken breast. If you don't know how to do that, Google it. I'm sure there are great videos out there :) 
3) Put the chicken in a dish and pour enough dressing in it to coat it nicely. I let it sit for a like 10 minutes, I'm sure if you marinated it longer it would be really yummy. I was just super hungry and had no patience.
4) Pour the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
5)Take the chicken out of the marinade and let the excess drip off but not too much so the breadcrumbs have something to stick to. 
5) Put chicken in the breadcrumbs and use your fingers to push the chicken into the breadcrumbs to properly coat. Flip and do it on both sides. 
6) Put chicken on baking pan and into the oven for 25 minutes. No more, no less. 
7) After 25 minutes, take chicken out and rest 10 minutes so all of those yummy juices don't leak out. 

Now, eat! I poured red sauce on top of ours but it could go with anything-- as a salad, sandwich, with a little honey mustard or barbecue sauce.
