"These yummy chicken packets are quick and easy to make and can be frozen ahead of time! I found this somewhere online, but can't remember where. Cooking time does not include time to cook the chicken beforehand."

We had this for dinner last night and it was well received. It was easy to make and very good. However, I think this recipe could be more. Next time I think I will add some celery and sliced mushrooms. Maybe even some onion. What you add to these is only limited by your imagination. I used seasoned italian breadcrumbs which made it a little salty. Next time I will use plain breadcrumbs. Overall a very simple, delicious meal with lots of possibilities.

My name is Jessica & I'm 29. I am a Christian, SAHM, and am married to my wonderful husband Greg. We have a few different home based businesses we do on the side. I have a daughter Trinity - 7, two step daughters Kylie - 5, Kara - 4, and a son Grayson - born the end of December. Kids are back to school, and I am enjoying the break...if you could call it that! My time is now tied up by caring for my son, shuttling kids to and from school, soccer practice, church, bible study, etc. I am also learning to play the bass guitar. I love to cook...just not clean. (I'm VERY messy in the kitchen...could use every dish in the kitchen to make a bowl of oatmeal.) =)
