Inspired by my friend Donna’s easy, delicious baked chicken recipes, I made one of my own. As a fan of Mediterranean red wine vinaigrette salad dressing, which has so much rich and tangy flavor, that was my starting point for this high-protein shortcut recipe. This chicken recipe is so delicious! (Read about the health benefits of protein.)
This red wine vinaigrette baked chicken recipe has just three ingredients and minimal prep. The salad dressing and chicken drippings create a flavorful sauce that is perfect over rice (and will make your mouth water).
Here is your shopping list for this gluten-free chicken dinner: boneless/skinless chicken thighs and/or breasts, red wine vinaigrette salad dressing and optional red wine for even more flavor.
The Mediterranean-inspired baked chicken turns out so juicy, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been cooking chicken this way your whole life (I know I did). Thanks, Donna! Serve the chicken as a high-protein dinner with your favorite side dishes.
