  1. The whole family loved this chicken!! Even the kids! It was the best smelling and best tasting chicken I've made yet. When I was preparing the chicken all the men in the house asked what the smell was and they couldn't wait to eat. It was wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. I stopped looking when I found this recipe! I scaled it down to fit my needs (there's only two of us!) and I got a definite thumbs up from hubby!
     
  3. This recipe made my whole house smell sooooo gooood!!! I will definately be making this a few times a month!!!
     
  4. What Great Chicken! The flavors melded together and did not overpower the taste of the chicken. I used 3 lbs. of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, so I cut the recipe in half and just used one pan. As suggested, I used 1 tsp. each of the thyme and basil. I guessed and baked it for 50 minutes instead of the 1 hour and 15 mins. Will definitely make this again. Total Enjoyment! Thanks Domestic Goddess!
     
  5. Excellent flavor and super easy to make. The house smelled great while it was cooking - this is definitely one I'll make again
