SOOO YUMMY!!! This is a new favorite for our family. Thanks for making it!
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed this! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo if you freeze, do you cook twice? or do you freeze before cooking?
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a nice recipe, but I am also confused about when you cook it if you are freezing before serving. Do you coat the chicken and then freeze? Or do you coat, cook, and then freeze? Have you tried coating, freezing, and then cooking without defrosting?
ReplyDeleteThe directions have now been clarified. Thanks for reminding us about the confusion. You coat and then freeze. All baking occurs after thawing. We have not tried cooking without thawing. Let us know if you try it and what the outcome is.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I'll be trying this soon.
DeleteLoved by everyone in our family! We used up all of the sauce and it was just the four of us. Not sure if I would want two jars if I had more than us eating. Tons of leftover chicken, which we'll eat on salad tomorrow night. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYummy! Thanks! I cut up the leftover chicken and made a casserole with pasta out of it for the next night.
ReplyDeleteI bake without thawing all of the time. in fact I bread both frozen chicked and pork and then just put back in the freezer in a covered foil pan. I usually bake for about 45-50 min on 400 I just did that yesterday with some pork sirloin. I dumped some shake and bake on top of it. It took literally two seconds.
