Oven Baked Chicken Recipe ...Easy ...But So Delicious
Favorite Recipe from Restaurant
This restaurant baked chicken recipe will be one you use often. It is easy but the tender, moist
results are absolutely delicious.
Let this versatile entree be served with oven roasted potatoes
and vegetables. Or how about some delicious garlic mashed
potatoes with some sweet corn or fresh green beans or peas
and my wonderful dinner rolls or my buttermilk biscuits that
melt in your mouth!
My restaurant recipe for spinach and mushroom salad is
perfect with this baked chicken recipe.
Don't forget dessert! How about Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp or
Apple Crisp or my deliciously light Kahlua Mousse! Yummy!
