Lazy Baked Greek Chicken

Like every person who cooks you begin to like certain foods and certain recipes by certain people.  Over the years I have fell in love with Rachael Ray.  Mostly because her recipes are easy and fast.  I have quite a few recipes that are from her that my family and I love very much.  I saw her making this Lazy Baked Greek Chicken on her show the other day and my husband said that it looked good and we should give it a try.  It was a great dish and the best part was the panko on top.  A great addition.
