Use Italian Dressing To "Fix" Overcooked Food

I have to tell everyone out there about a little tip I've came up with from pure necessity. I was in a hospital in Los Angeles for a week and, after the first meal, I knew I had to do something to the food to be able to eat it because I am not a vegetarian. My chicken was baked DRY and I almost threw it out, until I looked at the little packages of Italian dressing they supplied, and I thought "heck why not, I can't make it taste any worse."

To make a long story short, I used 2 packages on the chicken and gosh it was delicious. I used the dressing on the dry green beans, tomatoes and on a piece of baked fish. I liked all of it.

Yum! I also use Italian dressing when cooking chicken breast -- much more tasty than just using oil. A lot of times I slice it up and use it in salads - no extra dressing necessary!

I hope you are doing well now. Have you ever cooked with the Italian dressing? My mom had a recipe that called for putting chicken breasts in a glass pan, then cover with sliced onions and top with a bottle of Italian dressing and bake till chicken is done. It was so tendar, moist and deeelicious! Oh, I pound out my breasts with a cooking mallet until the thick part is the same thickness as the thinner part.
