Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Serve with classic mashed potatoes, your favorite steamed green vegetable and a crisp green salad.
  • tip 2
    This crunchy chicken makes a nice main dish salad. Slice the cooled chicken breasts into strips and serve on a salad of baby spinach, halved grape tomatoes and sliced kalamata olives. Top with your favorite vinaigrette dressing.
