Clipped from my local newspaper, posted until I can try. With only 6 ingredients, plus salt and pepper, this delicious and easy meal is on the table in only 30 minutes. Serve with a salad and a side of pasta or crusty bread for a balanced dinner. I'm sure boneless skinless chicken breasts would be good too, but would probably take longer to cook.
