6 skinned and boned chicken breasts
1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour

  3. Do you leave it in the skillet when you put in oven. If so I guess I have to use my cast iron skillet.

    1. No, the instructions say to put it in a lightly greased baking dish.

  5. Where does all the liquid come from in your photo? By the time I simmered the half-cup of broth for 10 minutes, there was very little left to pour over the chicken.

    1. Very likely you boil not simmered and boiled off all the liquid.

  6. First time trying it and was an absolute hit with my husband and children! Everyone's plate were clean. The flavor was surprisingly quite tasty and divine especially since the chicken was not preseasoned. Definitely will be adding this to my monthly menu! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Chicken was tender and juicy plus after simmering it and then baking it; there was still ample 'gravy juice' when i took it out of the oven! Amazing, especially with only 1/2 cup of chicken broth!

  8. Can you make everything ahead of time and then pop it in the oven right before you’re ready to serve it?
