South Beach Diet Smothered Chicken

"This is kind of like the Smothered Chicken they used to have at Cracker Barrel, but SBD friendly. Hubby likes his with salsa on top. I like mine plain. Hope you like it too!"

  1. Chicken was dry and relatively unappetizing. I am not sure how to modify the recipe to make hte chicken more moist.
     
  2. I thought this would be amazing but my chicken dried up in the oven. I thought the flavor combo sounded amazing, but was just disappointed with the chicken. Maybe next time i will put a little bit of broth in the casserole dish. I also crumbled the bacon which was a great idea.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in TN with a husband, 9 year old, 6 year old, and our two dogs. I'm a busy mom who loves to cook for family and friends. We have two boys, and they are the light of my life! My husband is a restaurant manager. We actually met while working together at Bob Evans in another city. He was one cute grill cook!! Now he is one cute manager, and I am so proud of him! He currently works for El Chico, and he is very happy there. <br />I am a stay at home mom who sometimes does temp work, which is a big change from corporate America. We'll see how that goes. Now that I have some more time, I plan to get back to the kind of cooking I used to do. You know...with pots and pans instead of a take out menu. I love to crochet, garden and hike with the family. Thanks in advance for any reviews you do of my recipes. :)</p>
