This chicken is great in a salad, with vegetables on the side, or even as your protein on a sandwich. Personally, mashed potatoes with sauteed vegetables like green beans, spinach, or asparagus are all top pick choices in my home.

Make it your own by adding different fresh herbs. Thyme would be a great addition here.

You can also sub chicken breast for boneless, skinless thighs. Cooking time might need to be adjusted, so just make sure your thighs are fully cooked!
