Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package raw chicken cutlets, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds Choose evenly sized for uniform cooking.
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix, about 1 ounce
  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Can be substituted with soy sauce if necessary.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a metal rimmed baking sheet or line it with parchment for easier cleanup.
  2. Arrange the raw chicken cutlets in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the dry onion soup mix, Italian dressing, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
  4. Spoon or pour the mixture evenly over the chicken cutlets, turning the pieces lightly if needed so they are coated.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 165 degrees F in the thickest part.
  2. If you would like a little more color, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
  3. Let the chicken rest for 3 to 5 minutes, then serve with the pan juices spooned over the top.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave. You can add vegetables like sliced bell peppers or onions to the baking sheet for extra flavor.
