This is a meal I've been making for years, and it's a family and dinner- party guest favorite! It also happens to be really, really easy, almost to a fault. That's what makes it a perfect week-night meal, and amazing as leftovers to pack for lunch, or even elaborate upon your next dinner like chicken tacos, chicken fried rice or pasta with chicken. I make this winner winner chicken dinner at least 3 times a month. You can also make this with two types of chicken; skin- o

Now, I’ve tried several variations of this recipe, and I have to say I enjoy mine the best because they’re not gummy, or bland, but they’re also healthy and satisfying.. PLUS, and this is a big one.. they’re very easy to make :-)
