Simple Italian Baked Chicken

Simple Italian Baked Chicken


1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Liberally salt and pepper BOTH sides of the chicken breast halves.

3. Arrange chicken pieces in a glass baking dish just big enough to hold them without the pieces touching each other or the sides of the dish.

4. In a microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl, heat butter and V-8 just enough for the butter to melt. (About 20 seconds on high).

5. Stir in garlic powder, basil and oregano, crushing the dried herbs with your fingers as you add them to release more flavor.

6. Pour butter-juice-herb mixture over the chicken, turning the chicken as necessary for complete coverage.

7. Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes.

8. If using the mozzarella, sprinkle it evenly over the chicken AFTER removing from the oven.

9. Tent loosely with foil to melt the cheese and keep warm until serving.
