I’m so tired of making the same chicken dinner! So I set out to create something new for anyone else that’s trying to make a quick and easy dinner with boneless, skinless chicken.
My qualifications were it had to be:

Which meant, I had added a new category to my checklist, cannot be dry! And my friends, after months of testing I ended up back at an old, lost recipe from our newlywed years. You are going to be OBSESSED!
