My dad used to make this dish ALL the time when we were growing up. He would make this and serve it with baked potatoes and he would take some of the juice from the chicken pan and pour it over his baked potato and then add sour cream, it was amazing! It's crazy the things we miss when our loved ones are gone! I hope you enjoy this easy dinner as much as I did as a child and now my family does also!! Enjoy!
