      You should at least specify WHAT kind 9f pan to use, a 9x13, or a sheet pan?? That makes a difference you know!

        You can use any size of the pan as long the chicken is not crowded.

      My family really likes this dish. I double the brown sugar and dressing cuz we like it as a gravy over the mashed potatoes that I serve with it.

      Do you just use the Italian dressing mix dry or do you mix as instructed in on package?

      This is hands down, one of the BEST boneless skinless recipes I've ever made. This recipe would be proudly served to company. It's soooo delicious, and sooo easy too! My husband absolutely LOVED this chicken. Next time I'm going to try this recipe out on boneless chicken breasts. I think that it will be pretty awesome! Thank you so much for a great recipe!
