From the author:
"This is absolutely the easiest go-to recipe for those rushed weeknights when you've got zero motivation or imagination on what to make for dinner. The best part? It can all be made in one shallow roasting pan or baking dish!"

- Lower oven temperature to 350° F and cook an additional 10-25 minutes, or until juices run clear (not pink) when poked with a sharp knife or the internal temperature of the chicken breasts is 170° F.
