I am always looking for simple things to make for the boys and I. I found this one and it was EASY and Delicious!

Ingredients

* 6 bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
* 2 teaspoons chili powder
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 2 teaspoons garlic powder
* 2 teaspoons dried thyme
* 2 teaspoons dried oregano
* salt and pepper to taste

This recipe also called for 1 tablespoon hickory-flavored liquid smoke which I did not use and it was still fantastic. Most people don’t have this in their pantry.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Arrange chicken pieces in a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking dish, allowing room between pieces. Drizzle with Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke, then sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, thyme, oregano and salt and pepper to taste.

3. Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

I found this on MissionMenus.com this morning. You’ll love this simple recipe that borrows from an old standby and turns it into something new, tasty and exciting. I am not sure who is going to like this more, me or the boys! Let me know what you think if you try it!
