When boneless skinless chicken breasts go on sale for 1.69 a pound, the question is not, “What are we having for dinner?” but instead, “How will the chicken be cooked tonight?”

This is not a recipe blog, but I feel like I’d be remiss if I didn’t share the best chicken dish I ever ate–prepared for me by my husband! Now, I know the ingredients used in this menu might not compare with the thrift of a chicken dumpling meal, but I guarantee that nobody will leave the table disappointed. Serve the Lord and your husbands with gladness. And if he insists on showing off his new chef hat, stroke his boasting with gladness as well. Happy wives make for happy husbands, you know. ;)
