My hubby tolerates chicken….barely tolerates it I might add. He does have some recipes he’ll actually request, like chicken and waffles or a recipe for Honey Sesame Chicken that Giz posted on Equal Opportunity Kitchen… thank you, Giz! SO…when I made this recipe, and he actually liked it, I HAD TO post it!
This was very easy to put together, which I really like. The aroma of fried bacon and onions was absolutely wonderful!
You might want to try this if you have a “picky-chicken-eater” too…they might very well be surprised!
