Video: How-To Make a Basic Baked Chicken Breast

When it comes to weeknight meals, I often have to remind myself to KEEP IT SIMPLE!! It seems that sometimes the most basic meals and techniques can also be the most satisfying…

This recipe (if I even dare to call it that) is as simple and basic as it gets.  I will often make a handful of baked chicken breasts early in the week and then use them either “as is” OR as a great head start ingredient during my week.

Leftover chicken is great for hot sandwiches, quesadillas, tossing in pasta or grain dishes, chicken salad, or adding into a quick veggie soup for a little extra protein.

How do you like to use your leftover chicken?
