This is an easy recipe for a Sunday Night Supper. Especially great for the busy holiday season. My girls are not chicken fans. One said, “This is better than Bubba’s (grilled chicken)!” That statement brought tears to my eyes, truly. She’s sweet but not one to compliment a chicken creation. If you live in Dallas, you know that means “really GOOD!”
