Roasted Chicken Breasts

These Quick Roasted Chicken Breasts can be used for anything – serve with roasted veggies (try Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash), use them for Creamy Chicken Apple Salad, or slice thinly for a sandwich with whole grain bread, spicy mustard, fresh spinach and thinly sliced tomato. Make them on the weekend and then use throughout the week.
