This lemongrass basil easy baked chicken is definitely a 'skinny girl' recipe! And, oh, how you're going to be elated at how easy it is to prepare. In fact, why not prepare it in the baking dish the night before. Then refrigerate it overnight. It'll soak up all that yummy flavoring. Then it's all ready to pop in the oven when you get home from work or later in the day!
Now I've done this easy baked chicken with vegetables, too. And, everything's snuggled together in this casserole dish for baking. If you want to just do your chicken and have a salad, then bake the chicken in the skillet that you pan seared it in. No need to dirty anything else making for more clean up. Who doesn't love one skillet, pan, dish recipes!
