The favorite around my house is actually ridiculously simple. You'll need:

*boneless chicken breasts (however many people are eating)
*one ziploc storage bag per breast (the quart ones seem to work well)
*a bottle of Italian Dressing
*a broiling pan
*aluminum foil
*a marinade brush (or you can just squirt the dressing right outta the bottle)

Rinse the chicken breasts off in cold water and place each one in a ziploc bag with 1/3 cup of dressing. Seal the bags, shake, and place them in the fridge for an hour. Move the oven rack 6 inches from the top of the oven. Turn the oven to broil. REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU BROIL YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE OVEN DOOR CRACKED!!!

Line the bottom of the broiling pan with aluminum foil (just for easy cleanup!) and place the tray on top. Spray with nonstick spray or brush with oil, whatever works for you. Shake the ziploc bags one more time for good measure. Place the breasts skin-side down and pop in the oven. The breasts take roughly 10 minutes per side, but keep an eye out to make sure they don't burn too much!

Flip the breasts and brush (or squirt) on fresh dressing to coat the skin side (NEVER use the dressing from the ziploc bags!). Let them cook another 10 minutes and voila! Italian marinated chicken breasts!

I usually serve this with wild rice or garlic smooshed potatoes.
