I tried this for a snack on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! I added a small sprinkle of Sweet 'n Low because I love things sweet!
We tried this chicken for supper. It was so easy! And it was good. Nothing out-of-this-world, but we liked it. Quote Daniel, "I'm not complaining or anything, but it was just baked chicken. Really good baked chicken though!"
I used Tony's for the Cajun seasoning.
