Easy Weeknight Chicken Dish
"When DF and I were at the end of the month, low on money, and scrounging to make meals, I created this chicken dish, and I thought it turned out really tasty, so I thought I would share. Just as a note, I buy whole chickens to save money, so I often use random chicken pieces for any chicken meal. Feel free to use whatever chicken you have handy, but make sure to adjust the cook time for the thickness of your meat."

What a great idea. It is not only simple to prepare, but it's so delicious too. I made my own sun-dried tomato vinaigrette, and it really added that extra flavor sensation that turned a plain chicken breast into an elegant meal. Everyone should keep this recipe handy for those busy nights when you want a quick yet delicious meal but don't have a lot of time. Thanks SaffonMeSilly. We really enjoyed this dish. Made for 2009 Fall Pick-A-Chef.

<p>In general, cooking is a passion and a hobby. I love to try new recipes and I love it even more when a new recipe comes out spectacular. I work full time, and am a wife and mother, so sometimes cooking becomes a chore. I try to keep it fresh by planning out the week in meals, trying a new recipe a week, and cooking enough to freeze dinners for those evenings with a tight schedule.</p>
