Use a homemade dressing to create this moist Russian Baked Chicken
Sometimes you just need some comfort food, something baked, something stick-to-your ribs delish. But you also need dinner the kids will love and you need it in a hurry. Make-ahead sauce to the rescue! This easy baked chicken uses my Homemade Russian Dressing as a base for a quick sauce resulting in tender, moist, meaty goodness. This dressing can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in a sealed jar. Great to have on hand when you need that quick dinner, dip, or salad dressing.
I find skinless, boneless chicken thighs are a great family meal-maker. They are super flavourful, easy on the pocket book and ready-to-cook. Plus they’re naturally the perfect portion size – one for kids, two for adults.
This recipe makes a rich sauce which is perfect to serve over brown rice or quinoa so you can soak up every delicious drop! With a few veggies on the side, you have dinner with no effort at all. The kids are going to love, love, love ya…
