Feed the Peep- Look Who's Coming to Dinner

Thanks to Jennifer at Savor The Thyme for the cute idea:) Jennifer is having a contest that requires a Peep in a food related photo. Here's my stab at it. Thank goodness my hubby had a pack of Peeps lying around! Wow, three posts in one day.....


Chicken Cacciatore

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup whole wheat flour for coating
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 large chicken breasts, cut into 2 pieces for a total of 10
