I have made this same exact recipe using only chicken tenderloins for various parties and potluck dinners. It’s always a huge favorite. Everyone wants a nice piece of chicken for a main entree, and this in a smaller form is perfect for passing out. Whenever I make it the pan always gets cleaned right out. It’s something a little outside of the box when it comes to chicken and a potluck, and I always aim to please. Even the kids love this when served with spaghetti pasta…because what kid doesn’t like to make a mess with spaghetti?!? Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Group Recipes:

After you make this once, your family will ask for it again and again!
