Today may be April Fool’s Day, but Mother Nature has been playing tricks on us for a few days now. First, we had temperatures in the 60s. And one would think we would be so happy with that. But those warm temperatures came with tons of rain, high winds, and thunderstorms, leading to flooding and damage. Then she dropped us back into Winter and hit us with snow showers and freezing temperatures. And today’s prediction is for some sunny weather, but it will continue to be cold. So, we’re staying with food that is more on the comfort side than the light Spring fare side.
This recipe uses just 5 ingredients. The chicken stays super juicy thanks to a thin layer of mayonnaise mixed with some crushed garlic brushed over it. Dry onion soup mix added to basic bread crumbs given the chicken a huge flavor boost. Not a lot of work and not a lot of time, and yet so delicious. This is no April Fool’s prank!
