The chicken needs to be precooked, because the 350 degrees for 35 minutes just warmed it all up and didn’t actually cook it.
Made this today. I used thinly cut purdue chicken breasts and did not pre cook it. I just left it in for about 10 minutes longer. And it came out great. I also went through to double check the points and it appears to be very accurate.
I definitely recommend this meal for someone looking for a change, especially because the ingredients are easy to get.
