📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly spray a 13x9 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
2
Prepare the chicken breasts by removing any fat from the chicken. If the chicken breasts are thick, feel free to cut them in half if you need them to cook faster. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared dish. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and set aside.
