This is such a simple and delicious dish, it makes a yummy light dinner just as is or with rice and extra steamed or stir fried vegetables on the side. It’s also really easy to prepare and you’re using a cheaper cut of chicken – yay for money saving!
And they’re back. After a one week hiatus so I could get my life together meal plans are back on your Sunday radar! And this weeks are delightful.
Happy Sunday!
