Lazy Baked Chicken

Tonight I wanted to try something different for dinner, but didn't want to go to the store for extra ingredients or do much work. I might just feel like that every night. :)

Anyway, I decided to try a recipe I found called "Lazy Baked Chicken." Sounds perfect, right? It was! Jared and his brother loved it. And my girls devoured it. As for me? I used chicken thighs and don't really love dark meat, but I still thought it was delicious. I just used regular chicken stuffing and probably more butter than it called for but it was great!

4 boneless chicken breast halves OR 8 boneless thighs
2 tsp. onion powder
1 1/2 c. herbed stuffing mix, crushed
4 tbsp. butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking dish with foil (for easy cleanup). Mix onion powder with stuffing mix. Dredge chicken in butter, then in stuffing mix, pressing to coat thoroughly.

Place meat in prepared pan. Drizzle remaining butter over the chicken. Bake 25 to 30 minutes for breasts, 35 to 40 minutes for thighs (meat should not be pink). Makes 4 servings.
