This is a super-de-duper delicious meal!!! Its simple to prepare and all you have to do is wait for it to get out of the oven (that’s the hard part). I love making this when there are guests coming over as all I have to do is pop in oven and leave it to do its thang. I always pair it with a giant salad and fresh sourdough bread. Enjoy!

Saving Money:
Purchase your meat in bulk from reputable sources. This will save you time in the long run. When buying chicken look for it without antibiotics / hormones and as organic as possible.
Quick Tips & Tools:
Tools:
Tin Foil, Large baking pan/pot (approx. 12 inches wide × 16 inches long × 3.5″ deep) – I use a large glass lasagna pan
Tips:
Dethaw your chicken in the fridge over night, or on the counter in the morning. You want your chicken completely dethawed before using.
