What temperature should oven be?
Carrie says
I usually grill the chicken for this recipe; however, you can bake it in the oven as well. I would bake it at 375 for 20-30 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken.

I would bake this chicken at 375 for 20-30 minutes. I would keep cover and uncover it for the last 5-10 minutes to allow it to brown a bit before serving. I hope you enjoy it!
