Breaded Baked Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Recipe

I love Breaded Baked Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs! Who doesn't love chicken thighs? This is a very easy to prepare and very tasty recipe for Breaded Baked Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs.

Breaded Baked Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
I've always loved the smell of chicken baking in the oven! And, I especially love it when I am using the boneless skinless chicken thighs because there are obviously no bones!

You will find that my recipe is a sort of mock-breaded in that I love using Italian Style bread crumbs.

No bones about it, you know? Perhaps you will like it too?

Sharing one of my easy to make comfort food recipes.

You know, chicken is one of my favorite comfort foods that is so easy to prepare? If I was a vegetarian, I would seriously miss my baked chicken!

When I was married, we had chicken thighs a couple of times during the week. However, they were usually prepared on the outside gas grill or inside on our finished patio on the fancy Jenn-Air Barbecue Grill.

Chicken thighs are so versatile to prepare. I love their perfect little size that you can use a knife or eat them with your fingers.

I personally like to use Vigo Italian Style Bread Crumbs for my breading. You'll find a lot of prepared breading mixes at your grocers, but this is the one I use! Along with the same brand of olive oil.

Plus, my main side dish has long been one of the Uncle Ben's packets of rice. They only take 90 seconds in the microwave and really are quite good. Lately, I've been enjoying the Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic. It has quite the interesting texture! ~ The Comfort Foods Ambassador, Jaguar Julie!

A Closer Look at the Ingredients!
You get an idea how simple this is to prepare!

You know, I've been using the Vigo brand of products for years. It seems to make sense to use those bread crumbs with their olive oil. Rather a synergistic effect on taste; Italian Style!

My recipe is actually like a mock breaded option.

I Love Corningware and Corelle!

Who doesn't love Corningware, I ask? Would you believe, I think my set is over 40 years old! I seriously can't believe it ... they say this stuff is indestructible and that it will probably outlive you and me. I believe it!

I am one of the many home cooks who rely on my Corningware casserole set for baking. The cornflower pattern is like a vintage collectible. I think it is a right of passage that each homemaker start off with such a set.

You probably recognize this dinner plate in my photos. I honestly love love love my Corelle Bamboo Leaf Square Round 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4! When I bought it in June 2009 from Amazon, as soon as it arrived, I purchased a second set! Yep, it is that stylish.

You get 4 dinner plates, 4 luncheon plates, 4 soup/cereal bowls, and 4 mugs. It is made of Vitrelle glass that is dishwasher and microwave safe! You will love the bamboo leaf design and the square shape.

Keep an eye on your guests so that they don't try to take it home with them.

Yellow Squash Dressing Recipe

My yellow squash dressing recipe is a cross between a traditional yellow squash casserole and a dressing. It is a delicious recipe that puts a twist on the typical squash casserole recipe. I whipped this very tasty yellow squash dressing dish up for our family's Thanksgiving dinner. It's a delicious side dish or dressing alternative for stuffing your Thanksgiving turkey. Gobble Gobble.

Yellow Squash Dressing
That nutty yellow squash dressing was such a hit with all the relatives who asked for my best-ever recipe for a side dish that's more than a casserole and oh so deliciously tasty!

Think outside the box this Thanksgiving when you consider yellow squash and your dressing recipe! Oh, and consider this dressing recipe as a great side dish throughout the year. You don't need to wait for Thanksgiving to roll around to prepare some of it for yourself. Think nutty; think outside the proverbial box.

So, what better reason to create this lens? To share my recipe for deliciously tasting yellow squash dressing with everyone! Ah, think outside the box and get original and creative with your food recipes! Mine is slightly nutty, you know?

By the way, this is one of those finished recipes which tastes better than it might look! Look closely and you will see the yellow squash in that finished dressing recipe. A delicious think outside the box type of recipe!

Why I Like This Dressing Recipe

singular yellow squash
It's ALL About the Yellow Squash! And, of course the nuts and the cheese.

I like this recipe because it incorporates several of my favorite ingredients which work so well together. It tastes slightly nutty with a hint of cheese.

Yellow squash has such a great flavor -- who would have thought you could add it to a dressing. And, then become part of a great comfort food recipe!

P.S. I WAS the Official Squidoo Comfort Foods Contributor! Did you know that? Well, you probably guessed it.

I LOVE Le Creuset Stoneware

I love it for making my Yellow Squash Dressing! I used a rectangular stoneware dish for baking my yellow squash dressing. It is similar to the Le Creuset Stoneware Rectangular Dish, 10.5 by 7-Inch.

Limited Lifetime Warranty. Safe for oven use up to 500 degrees F. Attractive dish can go from freezer to microwave or oven to table. Poterie glaze will not absorb odors or flavors; resists chipping or staining.

I ALSO Love Corningware!

You might have noticed this dish in my photos? I use the corningware all the time. Great for reheating and using in the microwave too!

I recommend the Corningware StoveTop 4-pc Pyroceram Blue Cornflower Casserole Set.

Would you believe? I have had mine for over 40 years.

It is nearly indestructible. Probably the wisest investment I ever made. 


The Yellow Squash Dressing Debate!
Have you eaten this before? Say you chefs! Google yellow squash dressing. I'm always experimenting with my recipes, particularly in a casserole dish. This blend of ingredients was so good that I knew I needed to do a lens on it! Have you tried a yellow squash dressing dish yet?

There was just enough left of my yellow squash dressing for me to take it into the office for our group to sample. They loved it!

"Folks! I have to tell you honestly that doing a bit of experimenting, I came up with a recipe for Yellow Squash Dressing that really works! It's a delicious deviation from the regular yellow squash recipes AND dressing recipes too!" --The Brand Ambassador JaguarJulie!

Grow Your Own Yellow Squash!!

It's very rewarding to grow your own yellow squash from seeds!

There were a variety of yellow squash seeds available, but I opted for the Ferry-Morse 3203 Organic Squash Seeds, Early Yellow Summer Crookneck.

I like the idea of using organic seeds for food products. The USDA organic yellow crookneck squash seeds are ready to harvest in 53 days.

Plant 1-inch deep, 3-foot row spacing, and 4-foot plant spacing. Couldn't be any simpler!
