It has been a very cold winter here in Chicagoland! I have been baking goodies almost every weekend to help warm up the house. But dinner is a great reason to turn on the oven, too!

I recently came up with this Italian Chicken recipe. Healthy, easy, and tasty…perfect for when you want a hearty, home-cooked meal for your hungry family. Stay warm friends!
