This chicken is perfect served with a bowl of creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles, which will soak up all the sauce. For a potluck, I usually serve it with a side of baked rice, a large green salad, and buttered corn or green beans.
Bread or slices of soft white bread are perfect for serving on the side. It’s also delicious the next day, shredded over rice or stuffed into a bun with a spoonful of leftover sauce.

Instructions
