This was really good. I have four kids ranging from 7 years old to 16 and all of them loved this! We served it over rice and it was amazing. This will also be an addition to my meal prep! Thanks so much for sharing!
Amazing. I tried it on the Hawaiian pretzel roll buns. My kids loved it. We will have leftovers for the kids to eat for dinners for a quick fix. Definitely worth a try.
This chicken is DELICIOUS. Made it for the second time last night, and it is one of my favorites. It is so easy to throw together and has so few ingredients, but it is full of flavor! My husband likes to make sandwiches out of his, and I eat mine with rice.
Fabulous! I’ve made and love Mississippi Pot Roast, but the Chicken is now my personal favorite. I didn’t change a thing on the recipe. Can’t wait to make it again.
Made this twice. In the picture I don’t see the green pepperocinos. Mine were very visible. Am I using the wrong ingredient?
Loved this recipe!! So tasty!
