This chicken is moist and delicious. Easy to make and uses ingredients you have in the house.

Looking for a super easy, super yummy side dish for dinner? These hardly take any more time to prepare than instant mashed potatoes, but they are much better! So savory and delicious.
I am going to pass on some of my mother's and my aunt's "secret recipes" that they used to make for us. All can be made and frozen then reheated.
A New Use For Pants/Trousers Hangers
By melody_yesterday
Just as useful as clips, which I sometimes run short of because of having too many snacks open at once, is the hangers with clips! Also, if you are short of shelf or cabinet space, you can hang the snacks on a nail on the back porch out of the way and possibly rodents won't get to them as easily!
Good packaging for freezing prepared sandwiches includes freezer-grade plastic bags, rigid plastic containers, glass containers, heavy-duty aluminum foil and foil containers.
