This is by far my husbands favorite chicken recipe and he is always happy when I tell him I am planning on making it for him! I packed it in his lunch one day and he let a coworker try some, and word spread about how good it was and now I have passed along the recipe to 5 of his coworkers. I gave the recipe to my mom and her, my brother and my dad loved it too. It's easy and delicious!
