Chicken Recipes.

I decided that there is no better way to get recipes than to enlist the help of all my friends and fellow bloggers out there. I have searched a bunch of recipe blogs but can't filter through recipes when I don't know if they are even tasty!

So here's what I am looking for...delicious dinner recipes that call for chicken (preferably chicken breast, since I rarely purchase the thigh or wing). It will be a trade off...I will put one of my favorite chicken recipes below and all you have to do is either leave a comment with your favorite chicken recipe..or email me with it. This may be a good way for us all to get some new ideas, I would be happy to pass along any recipes I get! I am tired of making the same thing over and over. As a side note...I am not a professional cook. I am much better at baking than actual cooking...so if your recipe is labor intensive..I may be to intimidated to try it. (Just ask Andy about the time I tried to make Chicken Florentine Lasagna...enough said!).

Here is my favorite recipe for WHITE CHICKEN CHILI, that I got from my friend Cari. Trust me, its the best one...and I have tried many! Serve it with some home made rolls or bread and you will be in heaven!
