My favorite chicken

I know, that is a bold statement. But this really is my favorite way to cook chicken breasts. They are crispy, not dried out, with a really good flavor. Naturally I cook a double batch a few minutes shy of being done, wrap them individually and freeze for quick reheating on weeknights. Seriously, they are my favorites.

Though I do prefer to eat them the same night vs. freezing them. But I am picky that way.
