Drizzle melted butter over chicken, salt to taste and bake 30 minutes at 425° F (or until breading is golden brown).
Roasted Veggies
“I sprinkle chopped veggies with sea salt and minced garlic before cooking—my family loves garlic. I drizzle them with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then sauté them until they are still slightly crisp. My kids take them warmed in their lunch boxes.” Brittany serves the veggies with her sisterin-law’s “famous chicken,” a favorite family go-to recipe.
