Expert Tips

Chicken breast is a lean protein choice. Protein supplies amino acids that give structure to the body in skin, cell membranes and muscles.

To sauté, brush chicken with Italian dressing. Heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts in skillet 15 to 20 minutes, turning once and brushing with dressing occasionally, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).
