Four-Ingredient Chicken
I love to cook, but some nights, I’m just not in the mood for chopping, dicing, measuring, and so on. I need something quick that I can put together without too much attention, and that’s when I come back to this recipe. There’s something about a lightly seasoned cheesy chicken dish that just hits the spot. It’s so easy I have to restrain myself from cooking it multiple nights a week.
