What You’ll Need For Italian Chicken
Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are ideal for this recipe. You can also substitute with chicken thighs or drumsticks.
Potatoes: I use baby potatoes cut in half. You can also use larger potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks. There is no need to peel the tomatoes.
Vegetables: Zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red peppers add color and flavor. Feel free to add other veggies like sliced mushrooms or broccoli.
Marinade: A mix of Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and Italian dressing mix creates a flavorful marinade.
Seasonings: Olive oil, Parmesan, salt, and pepper give the dish so much flavor!
Variations
- Replace the chicken with Italian sausage, shrimp, or pork tenderloin.
- Add different herbs and seasonings like fresh parsley, oregano, basil, or thyme.
How to Make Italian Chicken
- Season: Toss the chicken with the marinade. Season the potatoes per the recipe below.
- Bake: Add the chicken and potatoes to a sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes.
- Add veggies: Season the veggies and add to the baking sheet. Bake until tender.
Storing Leftovers
- Keep leftover Italian chicken in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 4 weeks. Add extra parmesan cheese to revive the flavor!

My wife wanted chicken for her birthday dinner. Amazingly, this recipe showed up on my email. So, I fixed it for another couple and us. Total success!!!
I did delete the red bell pepper and I did add a red onion and 6 huge white mushrooms.
I did use cherry tomatoes from my garden.
I felt the marinade was not adequate, so I doubled that.
No doubt this is some of the best chicken I have ever cooked. Bravo!!!
I’m so glad you all loved it John! Happy Birthday to your wife.
Wow! This was so delicious! I used cherry tomatoes and zucchini from my garden. My husband loved it too!
I’m so glad you both loved it!
Hi Holly, The Italian Chicken recipe you posted looks yummy. Can’t wait to try. I do have a question please. I don’t know if you are in the U.S. but in any event I don’t believe I can buy the Good Seasons Italian Dressing and Recipe Mix. Is there anything I can use as a substitute? Thank you.
You can prepare homemade Italian Dressing mix to replace the packet. You will need about 2 tablespoons of the mix.
Love this recipe!Thanks for always providing easy and delicious recipes
So glad you enjoyed it, Kimmie!
