Everyone liked it! Definitely a keeper. I made more, used 6 chicken breasts, so that I could freeze the rest. This added some extra time in the baking. It turned out really well.

The glass dish exploded in the oven! Everything had to be thrown away. Apparently glass should not be used at temperatures higher than 425. This was a big waste of time and money! Guess I learned something new. I’m very surprised whoever wrote this recipe specifically said to use a glass dish.

My 6 & 7 year old kiddos told me these are their favorite nuggies EVER. Listen to this: even better than MCDONALD'S!! Wow! They are really good. And super easy.

Oh thank you so much for this yummy yet simple recipe! In my busy Christmas rush, I wanted to have something tasty for my soldier son to eat when we jumped into the car to take him back for our trip to base. This tasty recipe is a keeper! :)
