Sunday Supper

It's never too early to start thinking about what to have this Sunday for supper.  I made this chicken dish a while back and it is so delicious and really easy.  It does take one hour baking time that's why I think it makes a perfect Sunday Supper.  Serve with mashed red potatoes and steamed veggies.  I also included a delicious dessert to finish off this meal!
