Author Notes
Just like the rest of the friends here on Food52, my husband and I love great food. We talk about it often during the course of our day, plotting and planning our family's activities and vacations around it. In fact, there are certain nights that I am sure we dream of great food. But as a stay-at-home Mom raising a family there are certain days when 1) it has to be quick and 2) it has to be budget friendly. Boneless chicken breasts cook up quick and always seem to be on sale at my local market. This is one that my family always seems to enjoy. And I hope you do too. We serve this chicken dinner with roasted broccoli or asparagus and roasted potatoes. —Juliette
