I don’t even know how I am functioning these days. May/the first week of June is such a hectic time, as I am sure it is for most of us. School wraps up and comes to an end, as do most of our kids extra curricular activities like sports, dance- you name it. And they all seem to appear back to back. Now, throw in the fact my parents are FINALLY, after 20 years, re-carpeting their entire house and I happily volunteered to help my mom paint almost the entire thing before that gorgeous new carpet is installed at their house. My body and mind are absolutely fried! I was talking to my aunt who is a supermom of 6 about it yesterday and she said, “Oh I can attest, May is actually the most crazy month of the year! It trumps Christmas time!” I have to say that I whole heartedly agree! haha!

I tell you the craziness of my life just to show you that dinner time needs to be quick and easy to fit into that schedule as of lately. This recipe was actually created by my mom a while back and I have since made it quite a few times just because I love it so much!

This meal has quickly soared to one of my TOP 5 DINNER RECIPES OF ALL TIME!

Everyone who tried this recipe could not rave higher about it! That sauce is the stuff of legends! I seriously could not stop eating it by the spoonful.

If you need a tasty new dinner idea that is also fast and easy, give this one a go! It is ready in about 40 minutes and is seriously TO DIE FOR!

    3 tbsp of garlic? Is that minced garlic? garlic powder? garlic salt? I'm quite certain has to be minced garlic, cause 3 tbsp of garlic powder or salt is a lot, but garlic is typically noted by cloves, not by tbsp, so it's confusing. Thank you! Love your website!!

    I've been dying to try this since I saw the recipe weeks ago and I think I might finally make it tonight! What do you usually serve as sides with this?

    I made this for dinner. To save calories. I baked the chicken, diced it and added to the "gravy". Then served it over rice. It was very good and my family loved it!

    I made this a couple weeks ago for my husband and his friend when he came over and they couldn't stop raving about it! It's one of my husband's top favorite meals now! Next to the Chile Colorado Smothered Burritos that is! I couldn't get enough of this meal either!! 5 stars because it is full of flavor, savory, and easy to make! Thank you Nikki!!

    Just made this tonight. It was awesome!! A little spicy, but such great flavor! I will definitely make again. Thinking the sauce might make a great enchilada sauce.... Thank you for sharing.
