About

Making chicken dinner easy is the name of the game. And guess what? Sweet Catalina Chicken wins that game as well as the flavor game! The chicken is extra juicy and tender from being slow-cooked, and the sauce is just something else! The Catalina dressing is tangy and herbaceous, which pairs nicely with the peach preserves and the onion soup mix, adding a new depth of savory goodness! Sweet Catalina Chicken is sweet times manifested... and edible!
