A couple of months ago I tried a new chicken recipe that everyone in my family likes. Even my son with allergies loves it, and he can be hard to please when it comes to trying new foods. He doesn’t even mind the “green things” on top.
The very simple marinade uses only three ingredients which makes it super easy. I have used this recipe in the skillet and in the oven. I imagine it would be good for grilling as well.
I made up several packages of chicken and froze them. When I was ready to cook them I put them into the refrigerator to dethaw overnight. This has been a real timesaver as I have been trying to make multiple batches of the same recipe to have meals in the freezer for busy days.
This recipe is easy and tasty. I totally recommend giving it a try.
I am trying out a new feature that allows my recipes to easily be printed. Let me know what you think of it.
