Creamy Chicken from the Oven

This is a simple, yet surprisingly palatable chicken dish first served up by my mother in law when we were in Holland, It was so good that I had to ask her for the recipe!

Silver Bullet made this a while back, and had only recently translated the recipe from Dutch to English for me to be able to post it on my blog. Worth a try. Really good for when you don;t have time on your hands.

Bon Appetit!
