Shake 'N Bake - Original Chicken (only 40 calories)

Let’s face it – sometimes we just don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to making dinner but we still want to avoid ordering out or having something that just isn’t good for us.  One of the options we fall back on in our household on occasions like this is Shake ‘N Bake Original Chicken. 

• the tangy flavor it infuses into your chicken; while keeping it both juicy and tender  
• it takes less than 5 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to bake (if going with boneless chicken)
• it’s easy enough for anyone in the family to make – so you can have a good meal even if the primary cook isn’t home
• it reheats really well; making it a good lunch or leftover option

From the varieties of Shake ‘N Bake that are available, I definitely prefer the Original Chicken option.  Plus, I’ve had the best luck using this with dark meat like boneless / skinless chicken thighs (are absolute fav) and skinless chicken legs.  You can absolutely go with Chicken Breast or Chicken Tenders but watch the cook time closely because they tend to dry out quicker.  Mangia and enjoy.
