Tonight, I served the chicken in the large dots bowl (sliced/cut up) with garlic biscuit bites on the cranberry rimmed large plate- getting in a plug for DCB, Cookware, and SA! Everyone loved it. I talked about how easy it would be to put the chicken in the microwave, the biscuits in the oven, and then make a veggie or salad, set the table, and have a complete meal in 30 minutes!
