Think I will try this with boneless chicken thighs. Maybe a couple of min under the broiler will help with the browning.

Can this be made with boneless skinless chicken? How long would I bake it?

Good morning! Yes, this recipe can be made with boneless chicken breasts, but it won't get golden brown because cooking time is only 20 to 25 minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink in center) at 350 degrees.
