Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the self-rising flour, tomato soup mix, Italian dressing mix powder, and paprika into a bag.
- Mix the ingredients together in the bag.
- Shake the bag to coat the chicken evenly.
- Bake the coated chicken at 350°F for 1 hour or until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier coating, consider adding a tablespoon of cornstarch to the flour mixture. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour plus 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. You can also experiment with different seasoning blends for added flavor, similar to those found in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the oven chicken alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a well-rounded meal. It pairs beautifully with Oven French Fries(Dietetic) for a comforting dinner. You can also use the chicken in sandwiches or wraps for a tasty lunch option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This will help maintain its crispy texture and juicy interior.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use boneless chicken for this recipe?
Yes, boneless chicken can be used, but adjust the baking time accordingly. Boneless cuts typically cook faster, so check for doneness after 30-40 minutes to avoid drying out.
What if I don't have tomato soup mix?
If you don't have tomato soup mix, you can substitute with a mixture of 1 cup canned tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder for a similar flavor profile.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can make this recipe gluten-free by using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of self-rising flour. Ensure that all other ingredients, like the dressing mix, are also gluten-free.
