I cook this recipe on the grill using a cast iron skillet on days when it is too hot to use the oven. I got “two thumps up” when I served this recipe for the first time to my family. It was an instant hit and I will definitely be adding it to the menu our next cooking day.

Serving Directions:
Thaw. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray. Place chicken in baking dish and pour sauce over. Cover and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove cover and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Comments:
I got “two thumps up” when I served this recipe for the first time to my family. It was an instant hit. You could use turkey pepperoni to reduce the fat in the recipe.
