Easiest Chicken Ever

Nothing beats having company over and fixing a beautiful meal for them. Scratch that. Nothing beats having company and fixing a beautiful meal that looks like you spent all day making but really only took a few minutes to put together!



This is a recipe your company (and your family) is sure to love. I serve it with skin on mashed potatoes, a side vegetable (corn or broccoli) and yeast rolls. A fabulous made at home meal that gives a new meaning to the term "comfort food". Yum!



It's called Simply Great Chicken, and it's name is appropriate.


It came from the Taste of Home cookbook called Country Chicken, published in 1995
