RECIPE BACKSTORY
This is another recipe given to me by Theresa at church If you want to go the healthier route, which is generally what I do, cook chicken in pan only until all sides are browned. This gets you the buttery, crisped taste, then place chicken in baking dish and cook in oven on 350 for about 15 minutes or until done. This is super yummy. We usually pair it with mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, or scalloped potatoes as well as with green beans or corn. It's one of the easiest dishes I've made and it's so good! Another successful recipe from Theresa! !
