Easy marinated chicken breasts

This is an item that I enjoy cooking on the grill.  If you do not have time to marinade the chicken, you can cut small slits in the breasts and pour the dressing over it while grilling.  This method does require more supervision while cooking.  You have to be careful not to allow the chicken to dry out on the grill.

1 bottle of  Italian dressing
4 chicken breasts (2 whole) split

Salt and Pepper
Optional  1 stick butter
Optional Seasoned bread crumbs

Night before or 4-6 hours before: Marinate the split chicken breasts in baking pan with 1 bottle of prepared dressing. Keep in refrigerator.  Use the dressing as your base for breading chicken. Coat with bread crumbs. Save any remaining dressing and pour into another baking pan. Put pats of butter over dressing.

Place breaded chicken on top. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Serve hot or cool.  Great for leftovers and picnics also.
