Personal Flair and Reflections 
     Can you say yummmmy? This was a huge hit in my house.
The Good Seasons Italian Salad Dressing Mix has become a favorite seasoning of mine! It has fantastically sensational blend of flavor!
     I am not a huge fan of white meat - mostly because it is too dry or flavorless. But not the way I make this recipe! My personal flair on this recipe is that I cut the chicken breasts into fourths, and I cook them in a pan that is barely big enough to fit them all. I place the chicken so they are touching and have a tight fit in the pan. The smaller pieces allows for the juices and flavor to get absorbed all the way through. And fitting them tightly in the pan causes them to cook in their own juices more.
     This recipe is very juicy and full of flavor in every bite!

Special Note: This recipe can also be used with pork chops! (Although the pork chops don't need to fit tightly and touching,  and can be normal size etc.)
