Zesty Marinated Chicken

photo by:kraft

Mushrooms and basil add great flavor to chicken marinated in zesty dressing. The melted cheese on top doesn't hurt either.

This was a fantastic recipe! So easy and delicious. Fresh basil is definitely worth trying. I have already made this twice and I will definitely make it again!

I would try it again, but add some breadcrumbs to the grated cheese. It would taste better crispier.

This was excellent. I marinated it for 3 hours, and poked holes in the chicken so it would absorb more dressing. I didn't have any fresh herbs, so I added italian seasoning to the mushrooms, and they were great.

Even my 6 and 4 year old ate this! It was really good, really fast, and really easy! The only thing I did differently was instead of using fresh herbs, I used about a teaspoon of dried parsley, dried Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. It was such a huge hit. This will definitely be a new weekly staple!

We make this at least once per week. It is overall healthy. I do however add bbq sauce under the mushrooms and cheese and I top it with bacon. This is a favorite of my entire family.
