I fried 2 skinless boneless chicken breasts coated in flour and seasoning salt mixture, fried in oil until golden brown on the outside. I then added the chicken to chunks of potatoes, squash and carrots in a casserole dish.Then I topped it all with the maple syrup, water combination and baked at 350 covered for half an hour, uncovered for another half an hour basting frequently. Cette Bonne!!!!
