EASY!!! EASIEST CHICKEN DINNER EVER



Easy!!! Easiest Chicken Dinner Ever image

Very simple and fast. Kids and adults love it. Got the recipe from a girl I worked with years ago. Not sure where she got it. You really need to use the tenders NOT chicken breasts for it to be the best. Also, if you just use regular canned tomatoes it will be bland. You need to use Rotel which is tomatoes and green chilis. You could also add some onion but I omit because the less prep the better. This is just dump and cook! This could also probably be microwaved but I have never tried it. Prep time is less than 5 minutes and only 1 pan to clean.
