    Hi,
    The link doesn't work. I click on roundup, choose the 60 best chicken breast recipes, click on green link and go back to square 1. It deosn't open the list of recipes.
    In the past, it worked.
    Thank you. Susan

    So sorry to hear it's not working for you. Are you clicking on the green recipe title name like "Marry Me Chicken" or "perfect poached chicken." We tested and the recipe links are working for us.

  • Theresa

    I guess my question is the question everyone is asking. Where are the recipes in the 60 best chicken breast recipes in the Roundups. Are you not promoting the recipes?

    All the green titles are links to recipes. So when you see "Marry Me Chicken" "Perfect Poached Chicken" etc...written in green simply click on it to see that recipe.

  • Matt

    I don't get it. There's nothing here says 60 best. I see nothing.

    All 60 recipes are listed in the post. The green recipe titles are links so you can look up each recipe if you want to make it. Hope you enjoy!

  • Yasmine

  • Anita

    Thank you for giving me ideals on what to cook. My family likes mine cooking but it's the same thing. What I did was copy the ones I'm going to try on a word doc. then slowly add them and see what the family says.

    That's great Anita! Let us know how everyone likes them, good luck!

  • Harriet

    This was a perfect dinner. Everything item was delicious. The sauce was tasty on chicken, beans and potatoes. The beans were actually cooked to perfection, tender crisp. My husband who is a picky person when it comes to recipes from the internet. This time he had to admit that the dinner was tasty.

    The only thing which I changed was the amount of honey and mustard. I used a quarter of a cup of each which worked out great. I will definitely make this dish again.

    Wonderful!
