Semi-picky fiance has started calling this "Chicken Awesomeness" and asks for it about every other week. Enough said? It's really easy to make (I usually buy the individually-frozen bags of chicken breast when they're on sale, cook them all, and freeze the cut-up results in 1.5-cup portions...so that really helps with meal prep here, and otherwise) and has a good mix of packaged and fresh ingredients -- enough packaged to make it easy to make, but enough fresh to make it taste like you actually whipped it up yourself.
