Notes
A new way to enjoy chicken that's also fast and simple!

A few minutes prep and let the oven do the rest for a delicious and nutritious dinner.

If you're cooking for 1-2 people, make less chips (as they're best served fresh), though cook enough chicken to enjoy leftovers and/or add to other dishes.
