“Next time, I ‘ll cook in Skillet. But, seeing as I didn’t do it that way, I can’t give you exact instructions for that. I’ll tell you exactly how I did it and will get up new instructions when I do Skillet Way (Should be easy- Heat Skillet, Cook all, and Cook Down Juices). Here’s exactly how I did it, tho:”
Butter Flavor Cooking Spray baking dish. Lay in Frozen Vegis. Top with Chicken. Pour over Sauce. Cover, cook til Chicken is done (I do about 450 for 35-40 minutes). It was TOO Juicy, so I added to Skillet, and cooked down juice!
