Our Mascot, Lana
looking forward to baking this. Easy and cheap, low calorie and high protein. Perfect. Thanks for this!
Making this tomorrow! Looks delish!!
Made this a few weeks ago and turned out great. Making it again for next week and I’m going to use BBQ sauce instead of pasta sauce for a BBQ chicken pizza thingamagig.
Would be good to pair with some Spaghetti Squash & sauce for a lower carb meal. Actual pasta for post-workout carb backload! 😉
One of my favorite meals so far! Thanks.
Tips to make the chicken not get soggy as leftovers
Usually when I’ve attempted to bake chicken it has not turned out very well, but followed this recipe to a T and probably the best baked chicken I’ve made! Thanks. Paired with zoodles for a serving of vegetables
Thanks Brandon! Glad you liked it my friend!
