spray.

Recipe Notes
*I used 5 very small chicken breasts that totaled 1 ½ lbs. If you use much thicker, larger chicken breasts, you might have to increase the cooking time
to about 45-50 minutes.
Cooking Just for Two? Cut all of the ingredients in half and bake the chicken in an 8-inch square (or smaller) dish.
