This was a wonderful meal!!! My children all loved it. The chicken was moist, full of flavor, & the crust stayed on great! Even I

Though it was cooked in a skillet, you could cut it with a fork as if it had been in a slow cooker all day. This is a keeper!

It was good but the crust came off of most of it...not sure if it was what I did or the recipe

I love when a recipe is good and easy as well. Crunchy outside, moist inside. I used what was on my shelf which was Panko style bread crumbs I seasoned with salt & pepper. I had to use more oil than called for, 2 Tbsp wouldn't coat bottom of my skillet. One tip: while browning each side, just leave it alone. It will release from pan when browned and you'll end up with a nice crust.
