I got this recipe from a Bisquick box many years ago(when dirt was young as my sons say). I have changed it slightly over the years to suit my style of cooking. I've also used this recipe with boneless chicken breasts and with  pork chops instead of chicken pieces. You might have to adjust the cooking time with the different meats but the mixture works well with all of them. If you would like to see the original recipe, check out the Betty Crocker site online. They have many other great Bisquick recipes there as well.
