Notes

you can make this with dried herbs, but fresh herbs really taste wonderful.
You can add or omit herbs to your taste but these work well.
I made a batch of buttermilk ranch dressing you can find the recipe HERE to drizzle over the cooked chicken. You'll have to click the link online to print it.
