Wichita, KS
Updated on May 27, 2016

This is a very easy dish to put together, and you might already have all the ingredients just sitting in your pantry and fridge. The sauce is created in the same pan as the chicken, so that makes this a one-pan meal. Oh, the sauce is so yummy. It can be a light evening meal in the heat of summer, or as the days shorten, and the weather begins to cool something a bit more robust... It just depends what you serve it with. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
